I lowered the back of mine about 2" and lifted the front of the tank 2". Looks great and rides great. Sorry but I can't understand why you would want to lower the front.

Read somewhere that Progressive drop-ins could lower the front up to 2". Check their website for 10-2002. Could be what you are looking for.
Lowered mine back & installed a tank lift (2") so no experience of lowering the forks.
