Anyone using Progressive 444 shocks

Hence the requirement for aftermarket shocks. Anyone know if the Nitro's are heavier duty?

FYI -
Remember, Amigo, payload limitations are not only regarding rear shocks.
Tire load and weight rating is affected as well.
HTH . . .
 

Maybe you can get the Hagon people to build you something custom that's rated to haul 550-600 lbs or whatever the total comes to with the torquing force from the trailer.

My 444 HD's wound to about three rings work perfectly to haul 450 lbs or so, though, and were a noticeable upgrade from stock, but I guess I'm not shocked that 550+ and a trailer is too much.
 
Slidderhd,
In your situation I think I'd contact Hagon and talk to them about your needs. They seem to be pretty responsive to customer feedback regarding spring rates required.

Good luck!

PS: That's one hell of a setup you got going on!
 
If you want to match wits with me, Bubba, I'd suggest that you first garner some wit.

The dumbazz comment to which I referred had nothing at all to do with R3s, hence even less to do with the subject of this thread.

You'd be well advised to treat this as your new bible, Elvis:

I picked up a set of nearly new Showa air shocks (off a CVO Harley) at a swap meet a few weeks ago. Came off a HD Tourer model .. they are 12 inches long. Cost me $40 , thinking about giving them a go and see how they are.

Any issues installing the Air Shocks?
 
They'll fit. There's a heavy duty and normal variants. The HD are good if you mostly travel 2-up (or are 250 lb+...), so if you're looking for the 2-up friendly variant you have the right one.
