Default Looking for Rear Suspension Advice

Hey guys, I'd like to upgrade the rear suspension on my 2017 Street Bob for better performance and comfort, but for clearance reasons, I want it to remain at or near stock height. I've tried the Burly slammer shocks, but it reduced my lean angle to an unacceptable level. About everything I've seen is for club style bikes which raises the rear end too high for the look of my bike. (pic of bike in my signature line) Any suggestion on a brand, make or model?

Thanks!

There are zillions of threads on shocks around HDF! I suggest you ask in the Dyna section, to get feedback from fellow owners - not many members call in here. Some stock length good quality shocks will be an improvement, but be prepared to pay for them. There are plenty of cheap shocks out there, but they will provide a ride to match!

Anything thats near the 12.5 inch stock shock height. The better quality shocks offer more in terms of travel and adjustment. What is your price budget?
