I put 13" RK air shocks on my Iron, then put the blocks on. Now, it rides about 1/2" shorter than stock, and I LOVE it. These are the ones I got:

These are the cheap ones and have been known to bend under stress. Be safe and get some good ones.

There are cheap ones that can bend but the ones in the link are very well made.

I've had good luck with the Tamarack 1" blocks too, I learned about them from a few posts where people had good things to say.
