11" Progressive on 08 FXDC?
Are there any clearence issues when running the 11". I thought I saw a post saying there was an issue with the fender or strut hitting the upper belt guard. Just want to make sure before I order.

I have them on an 06 FXDI. With 340 pounds loaded on them during two up riding, have never had a problem. I have themadjusted tomid stiffness setting.

Have you noticed any difference with handling? I put lowered shocks on a Sporty and now it handles like ****. I guess it threw off the geometry. Just wondering if the bob does the same.

I added the Progressives more for looks as compared to performance. They lowered the rear of my 06 Super Glide about an inch and a half. The lowered version certainly does not handle worse. I tend to believe is handles a little better.
Disclainer: I am not a greatly experienced rider and the handling characteristics may be all in my head and just plain B.S.

Make sure you get the "heavy dutys" not the standard.
I weigh 205lbs or so with my gear on and I put standard 11"s on and with them on the highest pre-load and still bottomed out a lot, enough to blow the seals in one of the shocks.
As for hitting the belt gard if it bottoms out, it will.
