The 600 I rebuilt seemed really soft in the front with the stock (maybe shot) RydeFX shocks. I have a pair of Zero Pros. After rebuilding them, would they be a good replacement compared to some WE take offs?
Zero Pro's on an 07 600 RMK

Were the Zero Pros made especially for an IQ RMK... or did you get them used from another "similar" setup?

Similar set up.I think they were 17" eye to eye. Not sure of the spring rate.
I have a set of Zero Pros on my 06 700 and I love them.
The ride is so much better than the WE's, which I found were way too soft. Granted, my 06 700 front end is probably a lot heavier than your 07, but the ZP is a great all around shock that performs great and can handle a lot of abuse.
I'm 210 lbs. with my pack and fully geared up and am an aggressive mountain rider.....the FOX rep at Carl's recommended the 110# spring for me. After riding it all year and a lot of field adjusting, I feel I should have gotten the 120# spring. I'm running about 1.5" of preload with the 110# spring and was told by a reputable source that if you have to run more than 3/4" of preload on these you should be running a heavier spring.

I know at least 4 people who are running 17.5" Zero Pros from Cats on their 900/700's are have no issues with performance or ride ability.
You will definitely have to readjust your camber after install though and they will be a real b#tch to install, ie.... Lining up the holes with the added 1/2"

How do you shorten them than? Cut the shaft down and die some threads?
As far as I know, they used a 3/8" or so center punch to go thru the a arm tabs and apply lever action to compress the shaft up to line up the bolt holes.
