Default 2015 roadglide fron end lowered

Hello you all, anyone here lowered just their front end to 1" but left rear end at stock height on your roadglide? Is it possible and still safe to ride?
Im planning on doing this so I can gain ground distance not for looks or wheel replacement. I will be using progressive drop in kit.

Thanks in advance.

Generally speaking it's a bad idea because it effects rake and trail resulting in poor handling. Ok (but not optimal) to drop the rear 1" and leave the front alone. If you're just trying to gain an inch of leg room, consider thick soled boots with heels.
