what part of the shock is longer the rod or the hole shock. there is an ajustment on the shock to make it longer or shorter. also most people make adjustments that include raising the rear a couple of mm to make turnin faster. i think it would work ok, and would make the bike turn great. also tire choice will affect rear ride hight so mabe it wouldn't make any diffrence.
