Hey guys I bought a set of Float 2s off a 14 Cat M8 eye to eye they are with in a 1/4 inch or less roughly. So I home with them and realized they don't just bolt in for one thing they do not have the spherical bearings for the bottom mounting hole like my stock one had and the top is to skinny where it mounts in the bracket. Have pics at bottom.

My question can I get the parts to make these work on my Pro? I assume I can just don't know where I can.

You can get the spherical inserts from fox. And if I remember right you can use the bushings from your walker evans to get the proper spacing. I think I had to drill them out. I'm running regular floats from an M8 on my 2012 pro.

I did an install on a 13 pro, there I used the spherical bearings from the stock pro shock in the float shock. Worked good. That was evols thou. Check if it is possible in the regular floats also.

Damn I already sold my Walker Evans with the inserts and bushings! Maybe I can get all the pieces from fox being they make a set of float 2s for the pro.

The bearings and bushings are PRICEY!!

Fox... about $15 each (X4) for the bushings and the bearings are about $55 each (X 2) ...Plus $3.50 each for the O-Rings (X 4).

You can use a spacer bushing on the top end like the stockers.

Also...The valving will be less than ideal coming from the M8.


The factory Polaris bearings are $80 each list ($70 street price). Plus snap rings.
