need help lowering kit

I am wanting to lower the front end of my 08 road king. have heard that it will effect the handling, some say it will some say it want. any one out there can tell me if it effected theirs?
also h-d offers two differant lowering kits one with dampers and with just the springs. which is better, or should i use progressive?
