    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    You can't get any stiffer than solid bar stock. J/K :lol:

    The progressive shocks are highly recommended by those in the know.

    Check the swingarm bearings for side-play or roughness;

    Whether or not the shocks come with springs or they are ordered separately depends on which shocks you buy, even within Progressive's product range.
