Default What front lowering kit are you guys running

I installed a 21" front wheel and the front of my bike is sitting high. I have a 2" lowering kit in the rear. I was wondering what was the best front lowering kit and the easiest to install.Thanks guys

I ran the Arlen Ness dampners my first time around and they were dog $hit... That lasted about 3 weeks...

Then went to the Progressive springs with SE heavy fork oil. Ride is stiffer than stock but still is good. Do yourself a favor and go with the Progressive kit. Good Luck!
