The 944's ride 1" lower. The 13" 944 will ride at the same height as a 12" factory shock but still have the full 3" travel of the stock 13". The 944 12" has the ride height of an 11" but still has 2" of travel.

The 444's lengths compare to the stock factory shocks.

The wife rides at times with the two of us getting close to 400. But that is very rare when she rides, but she complains about the bad suspension with the air shocks, so changing will probably have her riding more. I'm thinking Super Duty, but concerned this will be very stiff when just riding myself. Thoughts?

At 250# weight the Heavy Duty springs will be too light, I went with the Super Duty's. I'm at 230# and to get the correct sag with the HD springs riding solo they had to be preloaded until the lighter portion of the progressive spring was nearly coil bound. For my weight solo the SD springs are firm, not overly harsh but definitely firm, 2 up they are excellent.

Call manufacturers and dealers and speak with them. Way your options and you can feel confident about your decision.

I would suggest making one of those calls to George or DJ at Pro-Action. There is a guy on the forum that sells Ohlins that has a good reputation also.

You will be amazed with you mak the switch.

It's the stupid related threads if you scroll too far. Even knowing about it, it's still gotten me once

A fishing forum I frequent switched to this same layout maybe 6 months ago and it's constant bumping of crazy old threads
