    I do not have any first hand experience with them but I don't think they would since the overall shock is 2 inches longer.

    You can make it fit but you are going to kill up travel and not get anymore down travel out of it vs a 12"

    so im guessing it has to do with where the lower mount is at or rotated on the axle VS how much up travel u got, i have some tall bump stops and a 10 leaf pack so i dnt think i got much up travel

    Yes and no the benefit of the 7100s are they are a short body 14" so they can be mounted very similar to a 12" stroke shock

    7100 14" short body has a 14mm shaft, a king 14" stroke has a 7/8" shaft which is about 50% larger and needs more fluid and therefore a much bigger body.

    @machineman89

    My 14” short body 7100’s with superbumps & no additional bump spacers is literally just perfect. The addition of a small spacer on my bumps wouldn’t hurt but at full bump travel I’ve got just about an inch of shaft showing. It’s a great combo for me, with up travel not really sacrificed and plenty of down travel. Considering how budget friendly my specific setup is, I couldn’t be happier. Note that I have 2.5” taken out of my fenders

    Lastly here’s a static height pic of shaft showing

    Believe it or not the 7100s ride just as good as my 1200 dollar icon shocks did. Granted I cant adjust them now.

    I ordered limit straps as I believe I will use all 14" when i]I get twisted up and flex the front and rear. With just the forklift flex test I was getting 13" of shock travel out of it.
