Default shocks

could somebody tell me the length of a stock 03 RKClassic shock? From what I have read
I want to go with the same length and then buy a lowering kit from solow or white bros.
Thinking of using progressives 440.

Why stick with the 13' and the use a lowering kit? Have never heard anything good about lowering kits except for em being cheaper than buying new shocks. Most lowering kits just change the angle or attachment position of the shock and are a weak link. Good 12' shocks like progressives will handle just as good or better than stock lenght with a lowering kit.

Thanks for the info. Sorry it took so long to get back. The reason I bought standard length
shocks wasn't sure if I would bottom out while riding two up and trying the lowering kit
wouldn't hurt the bank account if it didn' work.
