Extended length is something in the 16.25 - 16.5 range for the Edge and later GenII. Have been told the only way to use a Pro shock on an Edge is with a new, shorter, shock shaft? Otherwise, they're about 2" too long.
Edit: Forgot, heard the same thing regarding the Fox Floats. They don't work as well on the track as they do on the trail.[/b]
as for the shocks i can do this without changing the shafts, i do this on mine to make the front sit lower to corner better, you but nylon limiters in them, i run 1 inch limiters (i inch less travel on the shock) so my WE shocks ride a 17.25 full extrended, i can go as low as i need, seen people lower them a lot for drags, much cheeaper them a whole new shock.
the problem is floats in that air does not hold up, under pressure the air molecules brake down, that is why you have to pump them up all the time, the new ryde fx air shocks are a much better idea, they used nitrogen chambers.
Yes thats what I wanted to do was stay with my ryde fx and maybe up grade to walker evans in the front if i dont put res and valve and spring these ones but kevin from holz was trying to tell me best shock made right now was the evol and I also agree with you guys and I dont wanan try it its just to new..
Also I have a ripsaw on my sled now but... I needa 7/8 tracka nd I m only allowed 3/8 of stud to stick past the lug.
also i went with the radius rods the put my ski stance out to 43" which will probibly make a differance on the shocks too..[/b]
im thinking i may be able to work up something. you can run a longer or shorter shock in a sled them stock anyway but iwht a little wider stance i. thinking maybe you can run a 17.25 or a 16.75 length WE shocks. if you are willing to spend the money i can make some stuff up and send it to you and if it works you can buy it. i currently have 5 WE ski shocks and can get more easily so ill just get another pair if you like them. tell me what you want to do and ill ehlp you out anyway i can.
