Progressive Drop In?
A buddy of mine pulled the Progressive drop in kit out of his 2008 Softail before he traded it in on a Street Glide. He gave me the kit but he threw away the PVC spacers. Just curious if anyone knows what size PVC pipe I need too make the spacers with. I think they should be 3/4" but I am not positive. I would like too start off lowering it 1 3/4". I just need too know the size and length of the PVC.

The spacer is slightly smaller than the washers and springs and if you have a 09 or newer you can't use them

Are you saying I need the spacer to be 1" long? I have recently read everywhere that for a 2" drop the spacers need to be 3" long so if I need a 1 3/4" drop then I figured the spacers need to be 3 1/4" long.

Do you notice that they all call for the same Drop-In kit?

That is the right part # just did mine, cut the pvc spacer to 3.25" gave me about 1 3/4" drop. Rides great with stock oil and no ricors. Just for fun i may install ricors and change oil to see if rides better
