Progressive doesn't have any shocks, available .....

Has anyone used 422 Progressive to lower a 1 inch or 2

Yep, I've installed 422's and lowered the rear by appr. 1 in.

Removing stock shock

How did you remove the rear stock shocks, no room for anything to get near rear bolts out. Especially the exhaust side...

I didn't do it myself but had my dealer doing for me. But referring to my service manual step #1 is to remove the exhaust system! So you're on the right path...
