I was talking to Elka yesterday, and they said that for the Leager LT +2,+1 Banshee A-Arms the shock lenght required is 17.25". I also called Leager, just to double check this, and they confirmed it. I almost bought a set used Elka Stage 4 for $600.00 that a guy was selling in this forum. I did not buy them beacuse they measured 18' eye to eye. I really had my heart set on the evol's, beacuse I was looking for a set of shocks that would provide the most "plush" ride possible. Keep us posted on whatever you do in order to solve this problem.
