Suspension set up.
I’m looking at changing my suspension on my stock 2017 road glide special. Its stock suspension has 12inch rear suspension. I always scrape at slow and fast speeds on either my kickstand or exhaust (Khrome Werks 2-1) I’m thinking of putting 13 inch legend revo arcs or RWD RS-2 13 or 13.5
would the 13.5 work with stock front suspension or would the geometry be off? And if i got the 13.5 would I be able to put on +2 fronts?
im also thinking of the idea of eventually going +2 in the front.
any help is appreciated

I've never raised the front, per se. What I have done is get shocks and fork springs for my weight and then minimize sag for both. This yields me much more ground clearance than stock and still ride very well.

13" Revo-A in the back replaced stock 12" Low shocks. Axeo fork cartridge kit in the front at stock height. No more scraping my lowered floorboards on just about every corner, no bottoming out when riding 2 up. No pogo effect over bumps. No more massive fork dive when getting on the brakes either. IMHO, do the fork kit (whether cartidges or springs) and the rears at the same time. It made a huge difference on my 2020 Road Glide.
