Help Before I order...

I'm going to be buying Progressive front springs and Progressive rear shock with spring this Friday and a 240 Rear Tire soon to follow, but I need some help making a decision on which shock to get.
The two options are:
Standard and 1" inch lowered

I would love to get the one inch lower since the 240 makes the bike set even higher but my concern is because my wife and I are big people and I'm worried about the squat of the bike. Just to give you a idea, I'm 6'3" #295, wife would kick my ass if I tried to elaborate on her :nod: ... . I know the progressive spring pushes back against tension but will it be enough?

So I would like anyone with the 240/250 and spring to chime in and give your experiences with passenger, luggage, etc;. I got 11Stryker's input but he is a skinny dude, lol.

Nice! You will like the 1" rear. Now ya got me thinking more about getting the front springs. Let me know what is required to install the fronts Bud.
Thanks Visionary!
Just watched the vid on the front spring replacement and ordered Progressive front springs also from Phat. Best price by far between 5 different sites I tried.
