Fox float compatibility

[Back2M8]

If I bought fox floats off a 2013 pro climb sled would all three shocks fit on my 07 m8? Also is there any difference with HCR 07-11, would they fit? Since a wider set up do they require a longer shock?

17.5" for the front on a M 07-11 the HCR will be 18.5"
As for the rear float I don't think the 07 had the float skid available till 08

So is the c/c 17.5" on all M series from 07-11 on the front

K so even though they are an inch bigger. Can I still throw them on it and have no problems with ride quality or blowing one out? I would understand if you took an hcr and tried to put regular sno pro float on the front. It just would not fit the holes Cuz it's shorter. But if you just compress it in and bolt it up would it work??

It would probably work but would probably also create quite a bit more ski pressure.
Try setting them up with more sag equal to what you'd run with the stock length and dial in a bit more compression damping to compensate.

Me, I'd just get them shortened to the correct length though ..

How do you go about shortening them?

My buddy had an 07 m8 snopro all orange. Wouldn't I just have to change the rear shock? Isn't the skid all the same

07 has the L and R spring on the rear of the skid like ALL the older Cats.
The 08 and newer Cats have a coil over shock or Float air shock.

Does the front shocks from a m8000 fit an 2011 m8?
Shocks in question is fox float evol from a 2014 m8000

 

[Thunder101]

they are to short

 

[b0hman]

Even with the zbroz 38,5" front end?

The m8000 evol measures 18" so it seems little longer than stock..
I'm worried about the air chamber and the mounting hole will fit the m-series..
