I have the 440 as well 1 inch under size I put the HD springs in found them better...

I believe I read the Stock height is 12.5", so there is a half inch to raise the height and some lowered heights in half inch increments.
I'm 6'4" 230lb, I also like the Stock height, but am Not against raising up to a 13". I'm more confused as to which Type to get, Standard or Heavy Duty. I've heard Heavy Duty should be the choice if your toting 270lb or more. If my wife goes with me more than 50% of the time, does that mean I should choose Heavy Duty?

Dblbull you definitely want the Heavy Duty shock springs. You may even enjoy the benefits of going to 13" or 13.5" ride height.

Thanks Idaho, If I didn't have this Forum to refer to when questions arise, I'd have a lot more money in the bank, but my Rocket 3 wouldn't nearly run so good. New shocks and fork springs have to be near the top of my list, for safety sake. I'll definitely go for the HD springs, raising the shock height by a half inch or inch seems so small but must make a bit of a difference in ride comfort.

Yes the extra length on the rear shocks improves the handling and increases the ground clearance. You will also want to install something like the Progressive front springs and increase the fork oil weight to 7W.

There is another thread here somewhere about these shocks. I remember bookmarking their website because of the positive reviews. Maybe it was on another forum.
