Here's an idea: what about maintaining the same size shock body as we currently employ, and depending on the lenth of the rocker arm needed for adequate damping, the shock piston travel would likely be lessened, so you could run a shorter piston shaft. The end result would be a shorter overall shock, but with the same amount of oil, so more consistency over the course of the main. I'm also at a loss to understand why no one has offered dual rate springs for buggies, I think that's something that could be done fairly easily to improve handling. Like quite literally making the springs currently used half the length, and have a shock cup/collar in the middle.
