Default Help with lowering my Fatboy

&nbsp\\; I am looking to lower my 04 Fatboy and need some suggestions. I want to lower it 1 1/2 inches in the rear but dont want to lose the ride or bottom out. I have been looking at Progressive 422's, has anyone gone this route??? How is the ride??? I am 6 ft 260lbs and ride 1 up 99 % of the time so I want to set it up for 1 up. Looking to lower it for 500.00 or less so air ride is out.
Thanks
Mark
