Before and After pics?
Does anyone have before and after pics of a progressive drop in kit? If you could post em up I'd love to see em for reference! Looking at dropping the Slim a couple inches
Check my sig, mine has a 2in drop in...look at any stock deluxe for the before pic.
It rides fine until you hit something big like a really bad rail road track...when it bottoms out keep your tongue in your mouth or you might have to go back for it. Everyone says the monotubes are better.

Thanks Motown I appreciate the heads up...Thats how mine is in the rear now with the lowering kit thats on it, you hit anything major and it'll knock your kidneys out
I installed 2" progressive drop in the front with Ricor Intiminators on my Luxe. I run 15w fork oil with this set up. Way smoother than just the spring drop. At first I did just the springs with heavy fork oil. Stiff ride.
