Correct me if I am wrong

The air shocks for the Road King Custom come stock with 11.5" shocks, correct?
Has anyone swapped their air shocks for the Progressive 11.5" shocks and if so has it made a difference in your ride or is it a waste of money?

Thanks

Disgree completely. First, the air shocks on RK Custom are 12", NOT 11.5". Second the progressive 440's ride much better than stock shocks. Now, would I recommend changing stock shocks for same size Progressives-just for the ride? Probably not, unless you were having major ride problems with your stock 12" HD shocks. I changed mine out not for the better ride but for the lowering-the better ride was just a side benefit. If you are happy with the ride of your stock shocks I wouldn't change them.

Then you don't disagree completely. Just some what disagree depending on what he is trying to accomplish?

Just messing with ya Matt. I agree with ya depending on what he is trying to accomplish, but just swapping them out for the benifit of swapping them out, I wouldn't recommend it.
