Default What shocks to lower rear fxdwg?
Can anyone tell me what shocks will lower the rear of my 2011 wide glide without any rubbing or bottoming out. Will i have to do any other adjusting to belt or anything else. Any pics will help too. Thanks

Take a look at the Burly Slammer kit, my wife bought one for me for Christmas this year. Comes with rear shocks and replacement front fork springs. Ill have mine installed when it looks a little less white outside.

I have read that these will hit the upper belt guard. I would go with the 11" Progressives. The Burlys are 10.5"s...
