I chose the aldan kit for more adjust ability. It is getting installed now while I am in Iraq so I don't have any first hand experience yet.

I lowered my 09 1 inch using the road 6 customs lowering kit. To me it rides much better. Me and the wife's combined weight is approx. 300 lbs. No issues bottoming out with 30 psi in the stock shocks.
I have never tried the aftermarket shocks so I don't know how they compare, but you are probably looking at over $250. My choice was based on cost (approx. $50) and I am pleased with the results. By the way I ran the same brackets on my 05 at the 2 inch setting 2 years with no issues.

burnafatty,
I lowered my 15 FLHXS with Progressive monotubes in the front 2", because I have a 21" wheel in the front. I just swapped out the HD premium shocks with some Progressive 944 ULs. It really dropped my bike and now I can flat foot it. I also have an HD badlander seat too, if that makes a difference to you.

mebbe over thinking the over sized front wheels.....to each there own; but moho is the rake puts a lot of stress on the triplle tree instead of the front shocks where it belongs.
but they look awesome.
