I'm just going to raise the front springs back up 1" and go with either a 12.5 or 13" rear shock. All I want to do is be able to throw some bags on the back and have a comfortable ride with my lady on the back. I recenly moved to NorCal from Boston. I want to enjoy these rides and not bottom out lol.

I have 2 into 1 Thunderheader on the dyna. I believe the OEM rear suspension was pre-loaded at 13.5". I'm going with the 13" drag specialties and hear good things about them. Have any suggestions for brand front springs? I was thinking progressive, great brand and only 88$. What do you think?
Should I just go back to OEM springs for the front?

Is it a 1999?...If Not, what happened to your Adjustable Front end?

It's a 2000, I changed out the springs and spacers. so I want to change them back to OEM or something similar. Any advice?

my 09 had 12.5s on the back. I went with 14s and had to do some work to make it work with screamin eagle slip ons.

I strongly suggest going aexo cartridges if you have the funds
