Trick2stroke Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Depends on the a arms you run. Mine uses a pair of axis triples that are 19.75" with FireBall LT arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Decide on what a-arms you would like to run, than they will tell you what length shocks they require. Like stated above, different companies will require a different length, they usually vary 1/2-3/4" joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE358BANSH Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Don't forget that tire size also plays a role in shock length. The taller tire will require a shorter shock and vice versa for a shorter tire. Your best bet is to get your arms, and then check shock length with the desired tire at 1.5" frame height and then in the 11.5" to 13" range depending on travel desired.

yz4jdm Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I had long travel setup that I bought from ALBA Racing and it used ELKA quad rates at 13". Ride was nice when I balanced it with the ELKA long travel rear... pricey but a nice set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
