not when you're comparing those two shocks. they are both 12".
if you read the hd page it says:
and to answer your first question, yes, you can use the shocks from a street glide....
It doesn't really matter now...but yes, in MY case, they ARE low profile because I have a FLHTC...but I see what you are saying...you were comparing the stock FLHX shocks with the low profile...in which case, they are the same as far as height.
At any rate...it's cheaper (much) to buy the low profile kit since the FLHX part number is for only ONE shock.
I would get a set of Progressive shocks (You can raise or lower them to suit your taste) and have the best shock for your buck, than go back with stock Harley Shocks. Just my 02 cents worth.
