the reason why is to keep the shocks roughly the same length. You loose down travel with a longer bodied shock. I ran them before trimming them and felt decent. I definetly lost side bite and steering with them this way though. The whole point to doing this swap was to get a higher quality, smoother feeling shock while still having the same shock lengths, etc. The fronts are much longer and the rear are only a bit off. You take the top cap off, take measurements on where they need to be, then trim the body down evenly.
