Lower FLHTK

Hi, is there a way to get my FLHTK about one inch lower ?
Can I just soften the air suspension ?

I got these for my 2011 Ultra. Helped with using a wider stance and added stability when two up when stopped.

letting air out won't lower it just makes it ride softer.mean city cycles can narrow and\or lower your stock seat about 100$,aftermarket seat 400$^,lowering blocks on stock shocks 100$ bottoming can be an issue, 12 inch factory street glide shocks(used ?$),or aftermarket shocks 400$^,aftermarkets will give the best ride and handling.

Looks like you're still having a little trouble reaching the ground.

No, that won't make it any lower just softer.

I lowered my Limited with these two. It also improved handling, trading the overly cushy stock ride for a firmer, more controlled, sportier ride.

I had MCC lower my seat and I put the profile low shocks on and just riding relaxed I found myself staring right into my fairing dash and had to straighter up to see over in tight spots and slow traffic.
