are the shocks the same length?
One of my dogbone customers isnt sure if he needs a non stock size set of dogs to swap shocks and keep the stock ride height and since I dont have both shocks laying around I don't know, I only know the stock dogbones are the same length!

From what I've read, the shocks are direct bolt in's.. I could be definitely wrong, but that's what I've come to understand

Re: 400/600 shock swap issues?
I've switched mine back and forth with no problem. The Fox Shock fit both the 400 and 600.
That doesn't mean that the dog bones are the same. I had to use longer ones to make the shock work on the 400. Dang spring was too large.

My 400 came with custom bones, but they were roughly a 1/2"-9/16" longer than the stock 600 ones.

interesting.
I got 2 sets of bones from you with that 400 frame and they were both identical to the 600 bones

This frame I have now was used for racing. They had to lower it otherwise the larger Hyperco spring on the TC wouldn't fit through the swingarm. It lowered the bike a little...
