Default progressive 422

I am looking at getting some 422's for my 11 Fatboy and am concerned about the upper belt guard hitting my fender when the shocks are adjusted to the full 2" under. Does anyone know if the bump stops on the rear of the swingarm would prevent this from happening or if this is even an issue with Softails? I had this issue with my Street Bob with 11" 412's.

never seen this happen before, Mine sits very low and the bumpstop should stop it before it gets that close. Even slammed all the way down it still doesnt hit it
