Progressive makes a kit for the forks and you just buy shorter shocks in the rear.

Exactly, or buy the rear shocks and raise your front forks up through the tree a bit, thats what i did and worked out fine.

Works but looks mickey mouse to most that know. If going very low have to trim the chain guard or it will hit the frame. Had to do that when I lowered Wendys bike 2".

You may have tire/fender interference with short rear shocks if you weigh over 200 lbs.

Forgot that, the tire on Wendys bike didn't rub but when I put a new tire on it did and I had to buy a smaller tire.
