In the ride height adjustment instructions, it says not to exceed 9/16-inch of exposed thread (9/16 equals a 2-inch drop). Just wondering what yours measured out at. I ask because I'm at exactly 9/16 but would like to go a little lower. Thanks

Drew, I would like to lower my Classic as well - have stock shocks on it now. Would you recommend the Progressive 422's? PM me your thoughts and price.
