Default Need new shocks - Advice?

Hey all, so I need new shocks and I was wanting some advice on what to get as I have no idea. I ride 2 up a lot with about 350 lbs. of total combined weight. But I would like to be able to have the bike lowered a bit. Are there any 11 inch heavy duty shocks that would work for my set up? I know everyone gets progressive shocks, but which ones should I be looking at?

Ive got Works Performance. Bit more spendy than Prog. but they actually build the shocks to your specs. Weight length etc. not just a generic off the shelf.I went with the 11.5" and im glad I did not go any lower.
&nbsp\\;
Many peeps on here are really happy with their prog. though. Either way you cant go wrong.
