Default Shock install advice

Just came up on some Ultra air shocks that I know are longer than my stock ones.
I dont want to change the height of my bike and I know there is a bracket or block I can install to offset this.
Can somebody point me in the right direction of what I need?
Thanks

Lowering blocks. Got mine off of ebay for under $30 - the cost depends on the year of your bike. With mine, I had to change the crappy bolts and make some shims. But they worked great after that.

I've seen a few designs that claim that they will not change the angle of your shocks (pre 2008 models, I think).

Also note that out the 3 designs that I tried for my 08, not a single one lowered my bike by the amount stated in their ad.

I'll be happy to do some homework for you if you get stuck.

Good luck!
Tom
