Default FXDWG vs FXDL Rear Shock Lengths


Looking at some options to lower the rear of my 98 FXDWG. Have found some FXDL shocks online. How much difference in length is there between the 2?

Thanks.

Not sure about 98, but on my 2010 FXDWG I swapped my shocks out to FXDL stockers,mostly for color change. FXDL shocks had black coil. They were exactly the same length. I believe I measured about 12".
