RE: Suspension

Hi guys, I'm new here (hello) and trying to gather suspension information. There's a lot of good stuff on here but I do have a couple of specific questions.
Can anyone tell me what the length of the 2013 shocks on my bike are compared to the 2014. I think in some bike reviews it appeared as though the 14+ shocks were an inch longer than 2013?
I need to buy some shocks with lighter springs (I'm 160 lbs) and better damping. My bike really crushes me on bumps unless I have a passenger. Turning the preload (sag) helps a little but not nearly enough.
I'd like to go longer as well if it won't mess up the steering geometry and handling. On that note if the rear shocks are longer on the 2014 are the from forks longer too? I think they just have stiffer springs up front?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
