Are shocks interchangeable between alpha and twin rail skids

Rear is, front is not.
I think the rear is valved different?
I swapped rear shocks and it handled different with the same pressures.

Summ8rmk is correct, the rear are the same length but the valving is completely different and the cap on the bottom end of the shock is slightly different. I started out using the alpha rear and damaged that shock, so replaced it with a twin rail rear. There is a noticeable difference between the two. Overall the sled was more compliant with the correct valving. Like summ8rmk mentioned, changing the air pressure could help; something I never tried. The biggest thing, make sure you position the shock the right way, both vertical and cap direction at both ends. That rear shock can only be installed one specific way on the twin rear rail setup........don't ask me how I know!

Shame to see the best performing track in deep powder just folded up in a garage. You'll miss it when your digging yourself out.

haha, I'm young, I can dig. Durability is more important to me

Kinda surprised you didn't just flip those drivers around on that driveshaft and put a 3.5" pitch track like 300lx or whatever, but the ol power claw aint too bad I guess. Id like to try a 3.5P track on mine sometime, see what all the fuss is about.

I am curious about that, seems like 3.5 pitch is where the traction really comes from. Maybe I'll keep these drivers around for down the road. It's just convenient to go with what I know

Saw a twin rail catylist on the FB today, he said he bought a riot drive shaft.
I bet your right you can flip the stockers like I did on my 22 and use a lynx track. Just picked up another one too
