Default lowering with 18s

here is an idea that i want to bounce off of you all. 06 Road King / Police bike,
i want to go with an 18 front wheel from Ride Wright, sticking with stock size for the rear, but i want to lower it (due to me being vertically challenged...5'7") so i was thinking of a 2in rear lower and a 1in front lower. any suggestions?
what rear shock or kit?
I was prob going to use White Bros. Front

Cole

I'm about to put a 18" SG wheel on mine. I've already lowered the rear 2" with the standard bracket kit. I'm positive the front will need to come down an inch. I'm 5' 8" and when stopped I'm already pushing backwards on flat ground.
