call the shock manufacurer. shaft length and valving plays big roles in what setups a shock can be used with besides overall length. I really dont understand why everyone just goes out and buys shocks without having any info.

its usually cause they got a deal!!!

if I had a chance to get a good deal on a good rear shock id find the right combo to make it right!!

it was cheap enough to spend some money modding it.. i know I either need a long travel link, or a link and swingarm and a link..

so I wanted to see the best route, I can always change the shaft and go a different route..

your going to have to call the shock manufacturer, there is usually a serial number somewhere on the shock, usually the eyelets. and then maybe they can point you in the right direction
