Frequently Asked Questions
What ride height should I choose?
Each shock length (12.2–13.5 in) changes ride height by 0.8–1.0 in. Measure your current shocks or compare options with Progressive's fitment guide for your model year.
Can I adjust the rebound damping?
Yes — the 5-position rebound adjuster lets you fine-tune suspension feel without removing the shock.
Do I need to buy a pair, or are these sold individually?
Confirm whether your order includes one or two shocks. Most rear suspension upgrades require a pair for balanced handling.
Are these compatible with stock M8 mounts?
Yes — these shocks are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for M8 Softail rear suspension.
What's the warranty?
Progressive includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty on these shocks.
