HD premium rear suspension

Quick question. Based on what my wife said, there is a chance my left rear shock is leaking. I am not home, but she said there was an oily substance on the belt guard. All I can think of is that the shock may be leaking. If so, I may try to get the dealer to replace them with the premium shocks and I will pay the difference. My question is, will they raise the ride height? I know on the RGC and the SG they use the profile rear suspension. Are the premiums the same length?

You can purchase the premium ride shocks in 12" or 13" length.

As Latraveler said, they're available in 12" and 13" lengths. The 12" should maintain the same ride height as your stock shocks. My RG came with the Premium Ride shocks and they're ok, but don't compare to the Ohlins on my FXDL. If you get the Premium ride, they are easily adjustable. Just make sure that you dial them in correctly for your weight. If you ride 2 up, it's quick and easy to adjust if necessary. BTW, the adjustment **** is located on the primary side shock.
