08 MTX Front Shock Lengths??

[quadtrac]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking for some fox floats for my 08 nytro mtx, and was wondering what length shocks I can use in the front. Can I go any longer than the stock ones? Thanks

17.5" center to center. Not sure about going longer. I just installed a pair that came off an M8, bolted right up.

They must have changed them from 08 to 09 because the stock shocks on mine are 16.5" CC

The shocks must have been replaced?, my stock MTX shocks are 17.5" ctc as are my Floats......

i better recheck mine because i am looking at getting some floats and i would like some longer ones if i could get 17.5 i would like that better then the 16.5 i feel the front end could sit up a little more.

You are right. I have an 09 MTX and the center to center is 16.5". They got an inch shorter for 09.

Mus have been to help handling, I know mine is crazy at high speed with the narrow ski stance.....I call it the rocket ship....

I run Ski-doo float evol-x on mine and I love them. Does not sit any too high at 18" ctc and with the compression and rebound dampening on the x's I can run them a little softer on the air so My ride height is where I want it and let the compression dampening take the big jumps/drops.
