Progressive heavy duty 412 11". 5'10" 265lbs. I did not lower the front end.For two up riding I would recommend the stock length for passenger comfort.When you change to lowershockscheckthe beltslack.
yess, the belt slack, almost forgot to check it, will do. thx for the tip.
But my 412s are only 13' and the stocks are 13'5, so that makes only 0.5 shorter than the stock. u think it would do that bigger change for two up riding and the belt slack?
