They were changed back before I posted the pictures. I just jacked it up, pulled the bags off, swapped out the shocks, lowered the jack....thought WTF!!! jacked it back up and swapped them back out.
Hard to believe 2" in shock length would make such a difference.

I found an ebay dealer that has the Progressive 412's $100 cheaper than I can get them from J&P, but I cant figure the amount of rise I got from the 13" Sportster shocks I put on last night. You would think going from an 11" shock to a 13" would only raise the bike 2", but from the pictures it's obvious it raised it probably close to 5".
In the before shot you cant see the top of the rim, in the after shot you can see the top of the tire.
Whats up with this? I checked multiple times and the shocks on my bike now are 11" from eye to eye, and the others were 13" eye to eye.
Only option I see is going with 12" shocks, but I don't want to raise it up much more than an inch tops.
11"
13"
