My dealer said to lower the rear only unless you want bump and scrape and also change your jiffy stand. I plan to lower the rear in the next couple of months.

Never scraped or bumped and didn't touch the jiffy stand.

RE: lowering shocks but not the forks
I have lowered my 06 FLHT/I with the Harley low profile air shocks and I can tell a difference in handling. When turning at low speeds it seems the front end turns much quicker or falls over to the side the wheel is turned faster. I've considered going back to the stock rear shocks to eliminate this tendency but like being able to touch flat footed with the lowered rear shocks.
