Fox float 3 evols with 36 inch zbroz a-arms

glowa · Apr 9, 2015

Do anyone know if this will work without modifications? I was told by zbroz that the shock length should be 16.5 inch, I am confused on how to measure because I believe that the shock length depends on the air pressure in it? I know someone must be running this setup, Please help

I believe the measurement is from center of top eye to center of bottom eye. I'm am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in soon, congratulations on your setup. I wanted the same thing, until I saw the axys

I will get the axys after next season, until then the well known pro ride with turbo will suffice

also the big confusion was solved suddenly, I got confused by the fact that now I have 39 inch zbroz arms and they required modifications to fit my sled.

so zbroz 36 inch arms take a 16.5inch eye to eye which is 2013 and newer pro rmk
zbroz 39inch take a 17.125 which is 2012 and older (these require to use additional parts provided by zbroz to install properly on 2013+ models)

the sled I will install this on is a 2015, so stock shock length is 16.5 so the 36 inch arms will fit perfectly, thank you zbroz for patiently explaining this to me

i thought zbroz really wanted a little shorter shock? like 16.25? i have fox evol 3s on my sled with Alt Imp 36" and it kinda sits high in the front at 50 psi. still rides fine tho.

the information above including shock lengths I received directly from zbroz, so this is probably a pretty reliable information

ok, just saying because their web site says 16.25 is optimal

When they sell shocks specifically for the 36" they are 16.25 which is the perfect length for their arms but the stock 16.5 shocks work

Fixed it for you.
What i have experienced is that 16.625 (stock 13-15 pro length) will give you 1" or so higher ride hieght with alt impact arms.
If i were going to a zbroz 36" setup I think I would run 16" shocks to get as close to stock ride hieght as possible.
Andy at gas shock repair in idaho can shorten your shocks for a very reasonable rate.
Like $25-30 each......

JMO.
High front ride hieght will give you a saggy rear suspension.
Unless you are planning to do lift brackets in the rear and drop to the assault front torque arm hole.
Which kills your approach angle.
