Will 09 dragon rear shocks work on my 06 fusion

[mcmarkrazz]

Like it says, will these bolt on for a better ride than my stock ones?
They are 2009 dragon stock take off shocks.
I have a 2006 fusion 700
Thanks

The rear-rear will definitely work just make sure you get it rebuilt if it hasn't been done before the guy sells it. Used one from an '09 and it worked a lot better then the PS5, heck anything works better then the PS5, hate the idiotic bypass valve on them.

the fusion has a 43" wide front end, which uses 18" shocks (same with assualts)

the rmk has a 41" wide fornt end and use a 17" shocks (same with dragons)

Thanks I got a brand new set of take off so no miles on front or rear

Yes brand new but might want to refresh the nitrogen in the shocks as the dragons are a few years old.

So is there anyway to make these work or will the sled not sit proper?
My fronts are so bad and no rebuildible so if they are even a possible swap i am sure they will be better.

The front were my main concern since you mention the rears would work fine..so the fronts will work even with a different lenght?

If you use shocks made for narrower a arms (dragon) on a sled with wider a arms (fusion) you will create a few issues.

-the shocks will not last long because you will lose the extra travel length..and the shocks I ll bottom out quicker
-the front oft he sled will sag lower because it's missing the extra shock length to compensate for the wide.
-and using longer shocks on narrow front end will ruin the shock faster then above even

The skid is a diff animal, shocks are interchangeable, each just has diff valving..not sure why you don't get the fronts need proper shock length to match the width of the a arms

Thanks for the clerification I was told the front would fit by someone before I purchased them so I will now need to. Look for a diffrent option.
Thanks
