Default blackline lowering question

I just ordered the dead creek cycles lowering kit, the one where you do not have to remove the shock.i will be going the full 2 inches. will the factory kickstand still work since it will be lower to the ground?

I like it it was so simple to install. Rides nice but can be a little harsh over sharper bumps. I need to adjust my shocks with a spanner wrench to see if it helps. I'm 225 on the stock setting.
here's a thread to my bike. Ive changed my a/c and added my tool bag on the front of the frame below the horn.
