Progressive drop in kit......Rant
Bought the progressive 10-2003 kit for my 2012 Road King. Instructions said to use no spacer for a 1" drop. All the information I read on the forums said to do a 1" spacer for a 1" drop so that's what I tried first. That ended up as a solid 2" drop. Went back in a installed a 1.75" spacer and ended up with around 1.25" drop. How can the instructions be that inaccurate? Anyone else have any trouble like this??

When I did mine, I questioned what was going in the instructions too so I just called them and got the correct answer, which was different than what was in the directions. I followed what they told me over the phone and nailed the 2" drop spot on. The guy sounded like he spoke from experience, not just reading a troubleshooting screen on his computer, so I trusted him and it worked. Good luck!!

Not exactly on point, but I never cease to be amazed that instructions for most things are written so poorly. And come with pictures that cloud the issue more than do the words.
Had one the other day that told me to locate something on the left side of the bike. Didn't tell me where - just on the left side. Turns out it was on the RIGHT side.

Glad you got it figured out
