Progressive 412 series

[speedyj302]

OK, so I bought a pair of the black 412-4045 11" progressive shocks for my 2008 Street Bob. Anyone have any experience with these? Should I be thinking about lowering the front as well to even out the ride. Hopefully these won't ride as rough as some say they do! Any input would be appreciated.:cheers

The standards ride a little softer than OEM depending on pre-load settings). The heavy duties ride a little stiffer. Front end lowering depends if you like the look. Progressives will stiffen the front end up a little, but so will heavier oil.
