Softail shock length
Softail shock length
I’m new to softail and need to know if I could lower a Softail Heritage or Softail Custom by installing a set of Softail Deluxe shocks. I searched for OEM shock length but can’t find anything.

To the OP: A set of Progressive 422s will allow you to set the height to your needs or wants. And improve the ride quality.
I thought it would be the same shock with a shorter bolt. I have seen the progressives but saw a set of Deluxe shocks for $50, Worth trying that before putting out the money for the progressives.

On the shocks with the adjustable height bolts, 1/8" diff down
below will probl drop the bike an inch.
I ran my 2000 Heritage lowered for about a year.
I had the Harley "Profile" shocks (Stock on Deluxe) I also had stock
shocks with the adjustable bolts (Like I have now on the 03)
And I had Progv 422's.
Looked cool sitting in the parking lot.
Hated the ride
