Just got the monotubes. Before starting the project should I buy bushing or just replace the oil seals?

The bushings are cheap and wear first, so I'd replace them while I was in there.  They have a coating on them that wears off.

Guy,s, i just went to pick up the longer premium hand adjustable shocks today for my cvo sg  thinking there would be about an inch more travel/stroke but to my suprise only the rod is longer with close to an inch thicker bump rubber, so the stroke only measures 2 inch, no increase in travel, only height and ground clearance. Dealer was fine about it and kept them. Just thought i let you guys know it might save you some time and money if anyone was thinking of installing these.

I went with the Standard Height Progressive MonoTube Kit in the Front and the 13" Progressive 440 HD (3.18" Travel) in the rear.
My SERK now sits 1 inch higher and has the same trim as before.
No More bottoming out on New England Roads. I am very happy with the change.
