things to take into consideration
weight of you and or passenger
exhaust you are or are wanting to run
how aggressive you ride.

I still don't understand why ya'll want to lower your bikes more than they are......I scrape more than I want to and bottom out as well....even if I lowered my bike a half inch, it would be a lot worse.....you must have smooth flat roads where you live......

Plus I'm heavy so I compress the spring myself

air ride. either sumo als or platinum air. search at the top for air ride. this way you can be high as a kite when u want to and low and slow other times.

Too expensive for my means........suspect that leakage might occur at onset or later and that would mean more headache and bucks for me.....appreciate the heads up though.

It's fine, all you have to do is raise up the shock when you have more weight on the ride... old fact...
exhaust you are or are wanting to run
If you get cobra's, get the 3" extensions and you'll be fine... Morton's, again... 3" extensions... Samson's, work fine... Most of MFR pipes, work fine...
how aggressive you ride
This goes back to the pipes, if you already scrap with your pipes normally, then you'll scrap with the lowering spring, if not... again, suggestions above should work for the extra 99$ you pay for the extension.
I mountain rode a lot before I even got the tree's and extensions on, didn't scrap ... but I think you're running cobra's? Even so, the above measures should help with the 3" extensions added onto the ride.I still don't understand why ya'll want to lower your bikes more than they are......I scrape more than I want to and bottom out as well....even if I lowered my bike a half inch, it would be a lot worse.....you must have smooth flat roads where you live......
Take a chill pill guys, we only live once...

When I lowered my bike I would scrape the shit out of my frame now I am back to stock and am so much happier .I still don't understand why ya'll want to lower your bikes more than they are......I scrape more than I want to and bottom out as well....even if I lowered my bike a half inch, it would be a lot worse.....you must have smooth flat roads where you live......
