Default Shock?
So after trying the lowering blocks with stock shocks, I put my 11" progressive 412 hd shocks back on. The shocks are still really rough riding, but I was a little concerned with the lowering blocks. I am going to get works 12" shocks when I can afford them, but for now I'm stuck with the progressives.

I weigh about 200lbs, should I have got the standard spring instead of the hd spring on the progressives?

HD's are for 250 lbs plus, so if you always ride solo, you have no need for HD's.

Give us a call, we can swap the springs for minimal cost.

I think you'll like the standard springs much better. You'll still be limited by very little travel.
