Default Suspension Help

I have the stocked 11.5 shocks on my 1988 sporty but every time my fiancé sits on it to go for a ride the rear just about bottoms out from the weight, figuring its cause of the 11.5 stock shocks so I've been looking to order progressive suspension 412 series shocks but what would be the better option to go with 12.5" or the 13"?

12", or 13" will give an even better ride.

Before spending your hard earned green on those shocks, take a look at this Suspension REPORT LINK.

For about the same $ you can get shocks that are Much Better. LINK to description and reviews.

Either way you go it sounds like you're going to need either a heavy spring to keep from bottoming out. If you go longer in the back you might want to think about going a little longer in the front because you're going to change the geometry just a little bit. Higher in the back is going to make it turn a little quicker but it also might overrun your front shocks and you might find that you need better front shocks too
