Anybody here used the kit from softailloweringkit.com?

Trying to get a lower seating position on a 2008 Harley Fatboy.

there's lots of threads on those an they get good reviews...there's videos on YouTube showing the installation...I only want to lower mine about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch...that would require the new adj studs to replace the non adj ones in the stock shocks...install looks like a pain in the @$$.

the one you showed the link to are easy to install since the shocks don't have to be removed.

Will 1/2 to 3/4 inch make that much difference? I was wondering if 2" would be enough for me. Will 2 inches make much difference? I'm trying to get a lower seating position to feel more in the bike.

I like the stance of this bike. Would a 2" drop give me a stance like this?

I used this kit to lower my Rocker 1.5", before getting Progressive 422 shocks. The install is super easy!

I actually ended up with (2) kits, and still have the unused kit that I'm selling, and can save you a few bucks! Let me know if your interested...
