All I can say is that I like them. I have the one inch lowering kit on there now with the stock shocks. I will install the 1.75" kit when I lose a specific amount of weight. The 1.75" inch kit the maximum weight is 175 pounds with the spring set to max stiffness.

It's 250 pound max weight with the one inch kit. However, I've been riding the bike around with no problem and I weigh 268.

Here is a side shot of the bike with the one inch lowering blocks on the rear. Soon to come is a slightly lower profile Night Dragon for the rear.

I'm a shorter guy and I used burly slammer shocks for the rear and didn't touch the front. Looks bad *** and I still use my stock kick stand. Rides great.. haven't figured how to post pics from my phone but once I do I will post

I used a similar style to lower my 09 fat bob. One thing to look at is if the lowering blocks sit flat against the swing arm and flat against the mounting point. That way the lowering block isn't taking the load of the shock. I had to do a bit of massaging to get everything correct. Iam almost positive if I didn't do that they would of cracked. They are working great
Just my experience.
