Hey Guys, I have a LSR DC-2 no link swingarm and a LSR no link frame and I'm curious how long my rear shock needs to be.

I called Axis in anticipation of ordering a new shock and they have two different lengths for the DC-2 swingarm, 17 1/4" or 17 5/8". His only explanation for the different shock lengths was that they were for different ride heights.

I'm curious if anybody has a DC-2 no link swingarm, what length your shock your running, and what does your ride height look like?

Your Help is very much appreciated! Thanks, Doug

Thanks for the info.

Do you have a picture that I can see? I would love to see what your swing arm looks like and get a feel for your ride height, if you want to text it to me or email that would be great! Thanks

Thank you, I will send you a PM with my info! Where is the shock mount located on your swingarm, is it on top of the swing arm rails or is it towards the bottom side of the swingarm? Mine is located on top.

Call axis back and ask if the difference is in the body, or the shaft. If the difference is in the body look at it like this. mx go with the shorter, trails or desert, go with the longer. If its in the shaft go with the longer cause that means more travel.

Here is an old school DC-2 swinger on my old school JP chassis originally set-up years ago for MX but now my daily duner lol. The shock length is 17 5/8 inches.
