Yes, and Yes

The street glides are 12" eye to eye"the e glides are 13" eye to eye. They will swap out no problem. Just change over air lines and bolt on. 10 min install!

Be carefult they will ride rougher and stiffer that your 13" shocks now. There have been people that talk about buying a 1" lowering kit and keeping the 13" for comfort. Do a search it had been a heated debate. The bike will ride stiffer with street glide shocks on it. The other option is to go with a 12" set from a company like progressive and that will give you your bet ride. Probably better than your stock air suspension.
