Question Which Air suspension is best for 2 up on a softail

I have a 97 heritage softail with stock HD softail shocks that can be lowered and adjusted. Problem is, when adjusted at full travel, i still bottom out and the ride is a little rough.
Most people i have spoke to, reccomend the Legend system as being the best.
I am looking for a softer ride with out bottoming out when riding 2 up.
This forum seems to be big on Shotgun and Platinum, and no mention of Legend. Has Legend fallen behind the others in terms of quality or adjustabiltiy.
Really not sure which way to go. Any thoughts would help a great deal.
Thanks

See what brand comes up in the title of nearly every other thread in this section. That is my recommendation. Tried many other brands. I choose not to name any brands but others will name them for me.

Legend is the only way to go...

The L2 sticks out of the frame .75 while the more expensive L3 is a total "plug N play" and you even get a control switch which replaces half of your stock clutch perch.

Check youtube for the videos

Neither of those would be my choice. i would choose a shotgun shock over both. Nothing against any of the other products as I have not tried either. Read up on the Shotgun Shock.
