Arlen ness lowering kit will give you about an inch and a half two inches that is if you did not do any thing yet. The Harley lowering shocks will no go on the deluxe. I have also heard guys talk about the burnout cycle set up for lowering. I have the air ride its great. There is also another company with air ride much cheaper its progressive check it out

I like the look of them lowered; but it's low enough for me. It does look sharp though

Get ready for sparks to fly in your turns as the floor boards melt away.

Do it at night and enjoy the show
