i did the 2 inch over legs, with the 1" Progressive lowering kit. If i was you, this is the way i would do it. you know its gonna ride more rough with the 26, so why cut ur travel on your suspension down even further? i know the other route works, but thats definitely not the route I would go, and im a college student, so you know if im spending money on stuff like that, you know its an investment worth the while haha
