Default burnout lowering bolt kit

I have the burnout bolt kit for lowering the rear of my 05 night train. I haven't installed it yet just want to make sure that when I lower it with these bolts is it going to mess anything up . Like belt or will tire rub on inner fender? Many people say the bike is equipped with bump stops ,but I am not sure what this is.

I have these bolts installed to the lowest that they will go. I have had no problem's with them rubbing the inner wall of fender, however left side of tire is very close to inner wall of left side of fender, but no rubbing (other members have said this is ok, and normal? When the wife rides and we hit a pot hole we hit the bump stops, but when she rides from now on I'm just going to raise it up a 1/2 inch to 1 inch problem solved.

I may be looking into progressive or maybe even shotgun if the money is right in the future. Apes first.
