I'm guessing you're a newer rider. I have 12.5" shocks and can easily drag parts on either side of the bike if I'm not careful.

+1 to what cHarley says, before adding the glide shocks I drug parts on both sides, now with the higher shocks (and 1" lowering kit) and the front spring insert (1/2 inch plastic pipe 3/4 " long) no more draging and much better ride.
