Pick up a set of cheap used Street Glide shocks from a swap meet or such to temporarily ride on while you have Progressive re-spring the ones you paid for. You can sell the used Street Glide shocks afterwards for the money you spent buying them.

He posted an update right above your reply...he sent the shocks back, already received & installed them, he loves the ride.

I have the Super Shox on my 2013 FLHTCU and I love them! They automatically are 1" shorter from factory air shocks and they offer standard and heavy for sure possibly extra heavy...being that you said your light and vertically challenged I would seriously look into them in the standard set! Mine were like $600 with tax and they are fully adjustable. They are out of Libertyville, IL

I just got an email from them today and they quoted me $800 + ship! How’d you get them so cheap?
