Backcountry 40" arms and RAS2 spindles, Tom had to make the correct length shocks for the 40" RAS 2. You can bolt on the non RAS 2 shocks to the RAS2 front end, but you are loosing travel. You will also bottom the shock on hard hits, I wasn't willing to take the chance.So i'm confused, Tom's had a 40" ras2 front end? or did you use your same a arms and just swapped spindles? I've got a 14 and 15 freeride and would love to do that to both of them

RAS2 shocks, for all models, are SHORTER, as well as having MORE travel.
Tricky thing to do, which is why it has taken some trail and error.
I rode it again today, the front is awesome.
Oh, your Freeride stock shocks are not the right length or travel, but you can sell them and get a good chunk of what it would cost to buy the Foxes. That is what I did.
I installed the RAS2 36" front end and kept the stock KYB shocks. Prefer the narrow front end anyways. Handles great.
