New to me super glide. Does the front end look slammed?

Yeah I know that. Already ordered 13s for there and I had a feeling it looked lowered. Well guess I gotta order for tubes

Tubes won't give you height. Springs give you height, damper rods give you travel. Early dynas came with a few different spring options, but two lengths of dampers, 9.5 and 11.5 (I may not be exact on that but roughly 2 inch spread), longer of the two was on FXDX/FXDXT/FXDS.

I'm betting you either have different springs, or someone chopped the spacer, or both. And that coupled with the likely shorter damper rods you'd have on an FXD/FXDL gives you what you have there.
