I have Slammers on the FB.
I like them but they're a little stiff.

This is my 2005 fxdli. I lowered the back with covered 11" Progressive 412 shocks. I will be lowering the front an inch with the fork spring drop in kit this weekend. But this pic is just with the back lowered.

Yes I believe they were 11" shocks (progressive 412) They were 1" lower then the stock shock nothing touched in front.
