Default Lowering a Train

I will be installing the Burnout Cycles kit in the rear, and the Progressive
springs in the front.
Do I need a shorter kickstand, or just be careful parking?

Edit-Oops, just found a thread on this same subject! Sorry for the dupe.

I dropped my 2" in the rear, don't&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;need another kick stand so far. &nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I will be doing the front next week, so that may change.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
I'm using the Arlen Ness rear lowering kit and will be using the Progressive
springs in the front.

NOTE: Pic below is NOT lowered

It's a lowering kit for the back... You don't have to take apart the stock shock to put it on.
