Shock Length

[turboxp]

I was wondering if anyone has used shocks from a 39" stance on a 36" stance. I have a buddy with the arms but no shocks. The shocks i have are off a xp 800, is the valving and springs strong enough to put on a 1200

Has no one ever tried this?

tie rods will stay the same length, and when suspension is fully extended it will make your ski's toe in.

Your steering will likely bind when skis are off the ground, you should look into getting a spacer put into the shocks to shorten them to the correct length, likely the most economical way of getting it working. It may require a re-valve to receive full benefit.
