I've heard of ppl using the Polaris shocks (front). They drill a extra hole for the top mount.

They are 3" too long.

Those shocks do look bad @$$!! But, I wonder how good they are. That guy has several listed in the 12-13" length that might bolt up just fine if I do use the axle housing extender plate!!

air shocks??? That's different. FOX makes air shocks, but....They are big bucks.
I'd think for the money, I'd try it.

But the Fox air shocks don't have external springs. Well, unless they have some air shox I haven't seen which is entirely possible!!
