14.5 & 15.5" CTC is stock
edges are 16.5" & guys are running them on the GENII's.
will 17" work?

stance
I guess the ski stance plays a role in how long a shock you could use. I'm not sure but I think my ski stance is only 39". What is the stock stance? when guys are using the edge shocks do they use a 41 or 43" stance?

You might want to snoop around this thread:

But I think 17" would be too much of a front end lift for 39" stance. It would life the front of the rear skid off the ground...mess with your geometry and really make you trench and handle poorly.
16.5" MIGHT fit, but I think that will be tight also.
I'm still using 15.5" shocks on my 41" stance.

Going to need custom radius rods with the Edge shocks. Can a spacer be put inside the shock to make the length shorter?

Trashed yet another TA today! 3rd this season alone & I was in 2'+ of fresh? Do you think wider skis & taller front stance reduce busted TAs?

Those dam rocks get you every time
My stance is only 37" so I think I'll look for some 15.5" shocks. Any body have an extra set?

Mine was stock 500 rmk width, increased that about 1-3/4" and went with 16 or 16,5" shocks and still quite tall! But that is with Holtz TA's and I suspect them of having a higher shock mounting..
Chop some wood sticks try out some lengths first.

You get to the point where you raise the front end too much and get the ski's real narrow and you get a lot of darting and body roll. There is a fine line between too much and just enough.
