Default Suspension issue

I am 325 lbs and always ride with a passenger. 2017 Harley Davidson street glide and I am obviously hitting bottom on most bumps even after adjusting shock to max. What do y’all recommend for that much weight in after market shocks for my Harley?

Explore the brands that offer different spring options for weight and buy 13 inch or longer
I believe your stock units are 12"
