141 Rear Shock

[MNSnowScooter]

I know this has been covered. I've searched and read all I could, even tried over on the AC forums with no real solid answer.

So the beginning of the year I installed the Hygear linkage kit with the dual pressure for thr float 2. Love the way the kit has performed accept for that float 2. It seems that I have to make adjustments to that rear shock constantly. After I launched it a couple times I had to de-ice the caps so I could pump the shock up again. Not very fun when it's 9 pm and 10 degrees out. I have a buddy who has some Walker Evans shocks out of an RMK that are 16.75" center to center. What harm would it cause running a shock that was 3/4" longer in the 141 skid?

Have to make sure the fully compressed length doesn't limit your travel (bottom out early) or more importantly allow your skid to over extend (can cause serious damage on some skids). I would check your skid travel with out shocks in it to see.
