Default 07 Softail Deluxe -2 inch fork tubes

Does anyone know what size fork tubes are on my 07 Softail deluxe? I have the progressive drop ins kit which lowered my bike 2" but after the 21" wheel install I need another -1.5"-2"

Which fork tubes should I buy? Do I need to get rid of PVC spacer from my lowering kit after I install the new tubes or at least cut it down depending on how long it is (I forgot)?

Im thinking the -2" tubes alone will just give my suspension more travel and the spring is what will really adjust the height. Am I incorrect on this?

Tour crazy dude i loquees mine 1.5" when i did my 21" i think the only way you'll get lower is buy buying a set on -2 forks and then installing your drop kit.

I have the air ride on the back. I'm just looking for another inch or so on the front. Do you know what size the stock fork tubes are? I need the -2 version of stock?

I was worried about that myself. I need at least another inch though.
