Default Harley Premium Shocks

Do the premium shocks sit lower than the stockers, got a deal on ebay for a set so picked them up, almost new, scraping boards a lot. I know they manual says same size but wondering if they squat lower? I will get the Ohlins 3-4's when I build up cash reserve but stuck with these right now.

If I recall correctly brother (and you mean the shocks that come on the CVO SG/RG) those are 12" shocks and as per HD to be used with the profile low front suspension which is also one inch lower than your Limited.

part number ?

premium versions of the shocks come in 13" and 12"

part numbers may be on the shock on a sticker and there is a separate part number for a "set of 2"

12" can be used with or with out front lowering kit.
