Thanks for the input guys. the package I'm eyeing has 19.25" Fox Float shocks. I run a 21.5" front tire w/ 19.5" rear, so I may very well have difficulty getting my ride height set. My rear sets real nice at 7 5/8" with the front near 8". (currently 7 3/8" rear with my standard travels only holding 7.25" up front). I'm fine with an 8" ish ride height as the riding we do is more XC than MX. (fast trail riding in the Oregon dunes mainly). I was more concerned with fit, finish and adjustability. and was hoping to see a pic or 2 of them on an R.

It can also be as simple as a variation in tire size. Say your on 20" fronts and some else sets the chassis at the same extended/comp lengths. Now the shock dimension changes. I always set mine up for the smallest tire I will use. Like I said its always worth double checking. Also I think the newest arms are even different then the ones you have there.

Yes, that is true. My measurements are based off of mx size tires(19 inch front), and I think that is the assumed intended information that LSR lists on their website. If you were running larger tires in the front, then those dimensions would be less. Axis's specs may actually be based off of a 20" front tire instead of a 19" tire. If I remember correctly, 19" is a relatively new size tire for mx , where 20" has been around for a long time. That would account for the 1/2" difference right there. Good point.

I didn't realize they have updated the design again. Do you have any pics?

Just get the a-arms and measure for yourself using Maul Tech's instructional video. I wouldn't go off of previous measurements from older generation a-arms. Measure for yourself and you can't go wrong
