Why not just go with a set of Road King shocks? Get a virtually brand new pair of take offs on eBay for $50 or so.

cause you can not adjust those... these go from a 12 in to a 9 in shock with on board air... i am going to go with the arnette or the progressive set up... really digging the progressive on board air set up to be honest... they are going on my bike some time this summer

Anything that fits a touring model will fit a Dyna - Got std. height HD shocks on mine - bolts right on, no mods.
