Default Dyna Air Shocks

I want it all. I want to lower the rear end and not give up ride quality.
Can it be done?

I'm thinking of going with 11" Bitchin' Baggers modified touring shocks. I need to save some money over the next few weeks.

Who has them?
Pros / Cons?
Ride quality? At what height?

The BB shocks are $450 complete and less if I can find some used shocks somewhere.thats half the price of the high end shock brands like Ohlins.

The other option is the Arnott "affordable" air ride suspension kit. It's about the same price if bought on EBay.
Has anyone tried this system?

Thanks,

I'm going with the arnott air on my street glide and will try the shocks from it on the wide glide.
They bottom out when loaded on the street glide so hopefully they will do good on the WG
