Default Progressive 412 13"

I put the stock length 13" 412s on today and removed the factory air shocks from my 09 Ultra. I noticed that the ride is a little firmer but the rebound of these are much better. The air shocks always seemed like a pogo stick on rebound, exaggerated. I have them 2 steps from the softest setting. They aren't the HD shocks even though I'm 6'3" 240. Good ride and not a hint of bottoming.

Did you get the heavy duty springs or regular springs?

I am 300 lbs and ride a lot with my wife on the back. I have a 2010 RG and we seem to bottom it out over some decent size bumps in the road. Would the Progressive 412 in 13" help out with this much? HD springs?
