Stock height monotubes on the front. Better handling, less dive when braking. Firmer ride but not rough. Over all it was a good upgrade from the oil bath springs.
For the rear I'm going to install shotguns, just ordered today. Can't help you with the 422 shocks, all I can say is factory shocks with lowering bolts ride like crap.

I put them in both the front and rear on my rocker. MADE A HUGE POSITIVE DIFF.!! Should have done it first thing. The fronts for the whole kit was only 90 bucks. No brainer for that money. 1 hr easy install. se heavy duty fork oil. Rear, 422. Great shocks. I dropped the rear 1.5 inches. Rides great. 385 bucks at dennis k.. Tip someone on here gave me, if lowering your bike, the bump stop sometimes will hit, they recommended one for an 07 softail, it's thinner but fits the same spot...worked great on my bike, same size, just thinner. Ride safe.

Ricor Intimidators in front, 422s in rear. Bike rides and handles soooo much better. Kept bike at stock height, prefer ride quality and lean angle over looks.

Mono-tube on the front at the stock height and Shotgun in the rear. This is the perfect ride......
