I'm not so sure the long buggy shocks will work. They need to be matched to the proper rockers. The std Revo ones will not give you much less artic.

You will need to design completely different rockers with diff progressive rates. I think they would have to be much wider at the shock lever point. G/l fitting them on the stock bulkhead.

Also, depending on how you do the rockers, you will need to have absurdly high spring rates. Likely higher than is available for buggies. I think the Revos springs are about 35lb/in on the higher end. Its the heavy springs and huge forces that does the setup in imo. I think the spring length is not so much the issue, but the diameter needs to be much larger, and all the hardware and seals need to be larger and more HD.

Best yet, get rid of the silly cantilever design all together ;)

Sorry for the piss parade. Its just the design leaves little room for reworking imo.
