Default Arnott air ride

i cant pull up with the arnott site on my work computer to get a number to call so i figured i can get the answers here.i did try the search but came up empty. im looking to order the arnott rear air ride for my 2011SG, but from the pix i see the new shocks dont look like they accept the factory back rest like the stock shocks do. i cant give up the back rest so if they dont have it then ill have to pass on the kit, is there another kit that does let me keep my back rest?

Default shocks

I just put them on my 2007 Road King and it had spacers for the shocks if you had a back rest. I don't know about the 2011 models. but you be glad you put them on.

They also have two different versions. A version that only does ride height and one that has an adjuster on top for the rebound. The price is nearly twice as much for the rebound adjustable version but when I get my bagger I'm getting the rebound adjustable version as I think being able to adjust the rebound on an air ride is paramount as they handle a bit differently than stock spring shocks.

We have the less expensive version on our VROD and it is fine, but I have always found that have more adjustability on suspension equals a much more comfortable ride.

I saw it had the spacers on older moleds as well but nothing on the newer.
The reboud version is something i will def look into i wasnt aware of it thanks for the heads up. But now i need to figure out if arnott is even an option from original question
