Default Lowering my Rocker C

I want to lower my Rocker C.
I am thinking about using Progressive 422 adjustable shocks, and the Drop in fork lowering kit.
I have a danny grey seat on my bike.
Has anyone used these parts to lower their Rocker?, and will I have a problem with the seat hitting the rear fender?

I used the 422's to lower mine and have no issues, But mines has the heartland kit on it. When i was at the stealer getting the parts put on the mechanic told me that he couldnt put the lowering kit on the bike until he put the heartland kit on there. And i never lowered the front!

hope this helps

I had the adjustable lowering kit from HD until I went with the arnott airsuspension. It worked just fine. I also never lowered the front. Dont see the reason to.
