What do you guys think, I'm on the process of swapping a Polaris 500ho Engine into my oddy and I just realized that I can probably use the rear shocks of the Polaris on the oddy, I think they are pretty close in size, I just need to figure how to adapt the different eyelets.
Any ideas or comments?
Thanks
JP

In that photo it also looks like the spring diameter is larger in the OD on the Polaris shock.
That means the spring will bind in the bottom suspension arm.

Plenty of good information out there on several other options: my opinion don’t experiment, unless your mechanically capable, too many other potential problems. The axle binding up seems to be the biggest fear, and pricey if those get damaged!

I use works one 1 buggy, progressive on another buggy, and will be swapping stock for fox air 2.0 with advice and information shared on this forum. Curtis also sells a hardware kit and has also put together a great thread on that modification. My works shocks are far and away the best ride I have gotten so far, but hoping the fox shocks are even better!

Good luck with whatever you decide, please keep the thread updated if you do test it out.
