Default Lowering kit
So I installed hogworkz 2in lowering kit on my 07 Road King. Currently running 13in legend revo As which the company said will work fine. Noticing I'm bottoming out now. I'm assuming a need to mess around with the preload and I can't wrap my head around what direction. Do I need the spring to be stiffer ? (More preload) that's what I'm leaning toward because I tried less preload and it didn't change anything, possibly worsened. I appreciate any input

I'd go one notch stiffer. Ride for a bit, & see how bit feels. From there you should be able to determine if ya need to make it stiffer or not.
