Default Progressive Monotube kit?

Anyone use one of these? I was thinking about putting these in my forks when I rebuild them. Are they better than just the spring upgrade?

Thanks for any advice!

I have them on the front of my 1997 Wide Glide plus their short shocks in the back. As I lowered the back, I elected to go with the forks 2" under to keep my frame as level as possible. Now the bike is in the weeds and rides and handles better than when stock. For real.

@Architect , does your Wide Glide have 41mm forks? I can't tell if these will work for my bike or not.
