Default Progressive shocks

I'm thinking of going to 11" progressive shocks on my 03 FXDWG to lower it a bit. Will I loose the good ride I get now? And if I leave the front end stock will I loose the great handling?

Don't know what kind of shocks you have now, but the ride might even be better? Just less wheel travel. Handling won't suffer at all
