Default Which lowering kit for rocker?

I am looking to put a bolt kit to lower my rocker.....just seeing what brands you guys would suggest checking out and which would be the most affective.....not looking to buy a air ride system either(wish i could).
thanks

I bought one off of ebay for around $30. I don't know what would make a kit more $$'s. They are just bolts. Now after i bought them and never installed them I'm ordering an air suspension.

Burnout Cycles Softail Lowering Kit- Once you get the shocks out, it is easy.

J&P Cycles - 700-210 Their website says "except Rocker", however it worked perfectly fine on mine. No need for a press or special tools.
