Welcome to the forum.
As crappy as they are, lowering blocks with the stock shocks will give you the better ride if you are heavy, or riding two up. Then there are the 11" shorty shocks. These are good for single up riding, as they will bottom out easy. you can get these for around $70.00 from tasclassicmotorsports.com , cyclex.com and other sites.
You could also switch to a 16" rim, and tire, but this can get expensive.
But the best way might be a new kit from loweridersbysummers.com . This kit uses spacers, and Harley shocks. It costs $150.00, and includes the shocks. But I just noticed that JC Whitney just listed new Harley shocks for $59.00 in their new catalog.
Let us know what you decide to do.

however, being vertically challenged at a mere 5' 2" I wanted to know what make of shorter shocks I can put on if any? Any other suggestions much appreciated...bar putting myself in a grow bag! Thanks in advance, Vix
