I'm NOT looking to lower the bike at all, just looking for a better performing softail shock.

Thanks
I just installed my shotgun shock the other day and I absolutely love it, worth every penny. No pogo effect at all. I would highly recommend it, you will not regret it. It is 10 times better then your stock shock. If you call them directly and tell them you're an hdforum member they will sell it to you for $1250 shipped and it has a lifetime warranty....can't beat that

Just like everyone else has said the Shotgun Shock is it when it comes to suspension. We have had our SS for over two years now and the wife and I both have bad backs and with the SS we don't worry about the sh%&y roads here is sunny Southern Kalifornia. And the adjustment of the SS system is NOT that hard to learn. Go SS....
