Default Progressive monotubes to dirty air

Has anyone gone from progressive monotubes to a front air ride set up? The dirty air is a puck system that comes with correct length springs. I've got my stock damper tubes that needed to be removed for the monotubes, but I dnt have the short damper springs. Do I need to get new ones from HD or can I use the longer ones that came with the monotubes? Hopefully someone has crossed this bridge before me. TIA

I use progressive monotube shocks in my 2012 softail slim with progressive rear shocks and absolutely LOVED the ride, it was a night and day difference from stock, one of the biggest and best mods you can do to your bike.
