Default Progressive shocks????

I went to the books looking at a set for my 2010 fat boy. I want to lower the back and so on. After looking, there are many types (numbers) of there shocks. What one do I go with? Where is the best place to buy and also do I need to lower the front at the same time?
Looking for the 2" lowered look.
Thanks

Progressive 422 's are what you are looking for that should give you the 2" drop you are looking for.Only dropped mine a little more than 1 " but I have a Deluxe.You dont have to drop the front but it looks much better IMO.I dropped my front with the progressive drop in kit as well.THe best price I found was at Easteren Performance I paid 379.00 for the 422's.But Dr V twin matches prices and there customer service is unbeatable and great people to work with.
