the length of the shocks are too short, they would drop the front end and you wouldnt be able to achieve the correct ride height. they would also have an undesirable leverage ratio and the front end would be either way to harsh or way to soft

exactly what he said. It would work to just keep the quad off the ground till you get new shocks lol. But that's about it.

the quad sits about 4 inches off the ground and if you just bounce on it the shocks bottom and you hit frame to ground you need long travel shocks for long travel a arms the shocks are actually longer by a few inches
