OK...bought a set of used EVOL-Xs for the new snopro chassis late in the spring. Never got a chance to put them on....until tonight. I'm thinking that I got the wrong metal bushing halves as the ones that came with the shocks, when installed on the shock (w/ the o-ring on either side, etc), leave a decent sized gap between the shock and the sled's mounting points. Obviously also leaving a lot of play.... and I'm not about to torque the bolts tight and collapse the mounting tabs. Something's gotta be wrong. So any one who has a set of evol-x's on their 2008-2010 snopro chassis sled, could you reply about the fit when you installed yours ? Also, if you have them off, could you measure the over-all width of the bushing halves (from outer edge to inside edge that goes inside the eye-ball, not diameter of the outside edge). Lastly, I'm guessing Fox would have the correct ones if mine are indeed wrong....but would there be any other place too ?

WhenI installed my floats x evo on my 08 snopro I used the stock bushings off the zero pros, the ones that they sent were to small.[/b]
Did the 08 zero pros have the spherical bearing style mount too ? My 2010 has the plastic bushing/steel sleeve style so I can't use them.

Just looked at the part diagrams for the 600s.....yup, the right spacer/ mounting system is there !!! Another difference with the 500 vs 600 I guess ... the 500s get the plastic spacer mounting system & the 600s get the spherical bearing mounting system. Guess I'll be ordering some part now !

Thanks to all that posted !
