Default Question - Info confirmation

I want to get my information straight.

Street Glide rear shocks are 12"

Road King rear shocks are 13"

What size are the low pofile air shocks HD has for sale ??

Also, alot posts mention the progressive springs in the front, is this the drop in kit ?? or HD lowering kit

I have an 07 custom, do alot of two up @ 365 #'s combined.

What is the best loweing kit to use on the back shocks ??


Thanks in advance

The progressive fork springs that I put in are #24-0883-vt. They are for the xl 2004 and up. They have really smoothed out the ride up front. And with the RK's on the rear, it is a whole different bike. Do it, you won't be sorry.
