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.

2019 FXBRS

Installed the 12.2 standard on my 19 Breakout 114.. got a 2” drop from factory before setting sag.. I’ve rode it 80 miles so far.. a little stiff but that’s expected.. I’ll set sag and tweak the rebound and see where she goes.. overall I’m very impressed with this shock for what it it.. we caint all afford air ride . Lol

Improved Ride Height

Installed the 13.5” heavy duty in my 2019 slim. It has given me about an inch of extra clearance. Now I have to be really be pushing it to scrape the floor boards.

Outstanding fit and finish. Fits like a glove and the owner was able to place her feet flat on the ground.
