Hey Everyone,
This has already been gone over i am sure but i will make it quick. I have a 04 fatty that i lowered with the cheap studs on the shocks it lowers it around 2 inch's. Of course when you do this you take a lot of the ride out and it is like a hard tail especially two up. My question is i was looking at doing the progressive shocks instead. with these shocks adjusted down to where my 2 inch drop is now will it be a better ride since they are shocks and not the cheap studs. Let me know i don't want to switch if it is not going to be any better thanks for the info.
I've got Progressives that are about 1-1/4" lower than stock, and the ride is far better than stock. At 2", I don't know, that's taking an awful lot of travel out.
