Yes, length...

This seemed to me. I want change to Progressive shocks, but they jump from 13" to 13,5".

Thanks.

1/4" difference is not much for a shock. You can probably go with either length.

If it were me, I'd go with the 13.5" because I want as much travel and ground clearance as I can get.

I'm running the Progressive 13½" shocks and love them. My 2¢.
