MY wife and I find our Rocket Touring bike a bit hard on the bumps and would like a smoother softer ride so I going to go with some Progressive 412 shocks. Should I stay with the stock length or will a longer shock give me more travel?

the 412s aren't really a good choice....you might want to do some more research and not go cheap.

There's lots of info here to help you.

I have had the 412's for quite some time with at least 5,000 miles of two up, loaded down travel on my Classic with no problems.

Changed shocks to Progressive 412 series chrome 13' better ride a little on the soft side, want give you any more travel as they compress down.
