You can get progressive springs.  Not sure of the price.  Keep in mind shorter springs will trim your floor boards a little.

11.5" Progressives for the rear.....  No modification is necessary.  You can also get the Goldwing springs for the front and it will raise the front a bit giving you a little more air between the floorboards/pegs and the hard stuff.

u can cut ur stock springs a little shorter. it'll be wallet friendly. u might want to contact cyberchick. he does some custom work. he'll cut off springs for ur stock shocks... that's if he doesn't pitch his finger again... :o P.M. him for more information.....

I cut my springs down myself..I happen to like the look of the stock shocks..Though it was a very "Wallet friendly" mod..It sure was a pain in the butt..probably the cheapest way to go would be sons of thunder..theyll cut your stock shocks for like 65.00 I think..If you dont mind the down time..check it out if your interested..www.sotmc.com
