Default Heavy Duty Shocks

I need to change to a set of sturdier shocks. I'm about 250lbs and my girl is about 150. So any suggestions for the 07WG?

Put in your information and it will give you the number for the HD shock for your application.

I went with Progressive 412 Heavy Duties - available in black or chrome for most applications. Went with 11" to lower my street bob. Love the shocks firm ride, but no bottoming and excellent handling for under $200. Much better than harley shocks IMO.

how much do you wish to pay?&nbsp\\; If budget than you will get what you pay for in ride quality.&nbsp\\; If you can afford something good, you can purchase a YSS for less than $600/pair, Penske for $997.50, or Ohlins which are more money than the proceeding.&nbsp\\; Is it worth it, if you want a good ride than yes.&nbsp\\; Is it way better (performance wishe) than the shocks above, yep, you bet!&nbsp\\; You will never know until you ride them than you will never go back to the other.&nbsp\\; I am talking from experience.

I have new progressive 412 heavy duties 11 inch I bought for my low rider. They were to stiff for my bad back. I'll sell them for $125.00
They have maybe 100 miles on them and were $189.00

Just a thought, upgrade rear and front at the same time, you'll be happier.

I noticed the front to be a little soft also. What do you suggest for that? Stiffer springs?
&nbsp\\;
It sure would be nice to be able to shell out that kind of cash for a good suspension. I bet it would be an awesome ride. But I'm still young-ish and can handle bargain suspension, as long as they're sturdier that original. Thanks guys.
