lowering shocks - which ?

Hi all.
i am about to buy some 12" lowering shocks for my 2012 ultra (short legs!).

I have been looking at 2 types;
156 lbf and 176 lbf.

questions;
1. which is better to keep the ride the same as i currently have?
2. are all shock fittings the same for the past few years ?
3. on the HD parts page it has a different part number for lowering shocks for 2009 up but other sellers say they are the same ??

Any help really appreciated as i dont want to end up posting them back to the USA from the UK.

Thanks

I dont know how much you're willing to spend, but an air ride system or Howard would be worth it. Howard will make a set of Ohlins specifically for you
