I have the 2-2A from Howard, big difference from stock painful back jarring hits.

I installed the 13 Ohlins on my 2016 SGS a month ago at 6200 miles. I have a 31 inseam, and both feet are flat on the ground with knees bent. I "think" that I can tell it is slightly higher when I'm sitting on it, but when I'm off it and look at it I cannot tell. Nobody has asked if my bike is higher, so they can't tell either. I would select the 13" if I were doing it again, no regrets. Just as Old Mike and 2017 SG said, big difference. No back/teeth jarring hits, and handles great. The bumps in the road that use to wake me up are hardly noticed now.
I too am looking to upgrade the rear shocks on my '14 SGS. Ive read somewhere that people are running air shocks purchased from amazon for around $300 and have had really good results.
I installed a set of Legends Revo-A 13" shocks to the rear of my 2014 SG. It made a great improvement over the stock air shocks. It rides like a whole new bike. Although I was hoping for an improvement, it far surpassed my expectations. I went with the 13", but with the sag set at 12" I sit at basically the same height on the bike as before. Just a much smoother ride, without the harshness. I don't tense up when I see a bump in the road that I can't avoid.
I went with Super Shox they are 13" still set like a 12" shock and the ride is excellent. They are very easy to adjust look great not that you see them on the Street Glides. They will build to you specs. I almost took my 2016 back when I rode it home it rode so bad until it had about 4-500 miles on it. Good luck with what ever shock you pick there are a lot of good ones out there.

Whats the cost for supershox? I'm waiting to hear back from them..Dont know the big marketing deal with not publishing their prices..
I don't remember what I paid. I called and talked to the owner, he was helpful and gave me a price at the time. I do know they were competitive with other quality shocks.

I ordered the HD772 which is the 13 inch in the blackline series,the bad part about it is Ohlins was closed for the month of August, excepted ship date is 10/13/2017, I ordered them from one place, they found out after I called to see where there at? so they refunded me, I called Computrack Boston, there website has them for $850.00, and you email them for better price, they come back with $765.00, so he ordered them for me with charging, as soon as there ship he will charge me, really wanted them for a trip to Maggie Valley in September
