Question Progressive Suspension Fork Monotube Kit w/ External Preload Adjust

Looking for feedback from anyone who has installed Progressive Suspension Front Fork Monotube Kit w/ External Preload Adjust on an 2018 to 2020 Softail--preferably a Low Rider. The OE rear shock performs OK on my 2019 Low Rider, but the front shocks can be harsh and dive when applying brakes. I don't want to spend the money to change front shocks without more information.

Can tell you first hand, these are great. I put these (with the 2” lowering kit) On my wife’s Deluxe. I rode her bike before and after and ride a sport glide myself, so I am pretty confident with my comparison vs. stock Softail front end. They are so much better. Less “fork dive” under front braking. Literally almost none when used at low cornering speeds. Much better absorption on the open road at speed. The dampening is really much better. I wouldn’t hesitate. They are well worth the price.
