First off, when you say "IQ".... which, specifically, is the model you are talking about??
The 13/14 PRO RMK 16.63" ext and 10.86" collapsed.
The 2011/12 & 2011 - 14 standard RMK 17.50" ext, 11.5" collapsed.
IQ RMK 17.00" ext, 11.20" collapsed... Coil spring
xxxxxxxx17.02" ext, 11.27" collapsed... WE Air.
Also... It's not just the length.. but also the spring and valving used.
DO NOT go any longer than 17" on the shock... down to 16.75" is the max shortest extended.
Buying used shocks can be a pain... when were they last serviced, what did they come from, are all the bushings included to mount them??
