Default Lowering kit question

I have a 2009 FLHRC that had a lowering kit slapped on . I removed the lowering blocks from the rear . It still has the lowering springs in the forks. Is it ok to run this way or should they be replaced ??

Here is your answer:

Note
Must only be installed on vehicles equipped with Profile Low Touring Shocks P/N 54635-09 or Premium Ride Hand-Adjustable Low Touring Shocks P/N 54680-10
Warning
The Profile Low Front Spring Kit cannot be used independently and must be used with the appropriate Profile Rear Shock Lowering Kit. Installation of any accessory suspension components may affect cornering clearance and jiffy stand operation. This could distract the rider, causing loss of control and death or serious injury.

I do have the low premium hd shocks for sale if interested.

Thanks for the reply.. I am not interested in lowering it . Springs are installed in the forks and the jiffy stand was changed
