Replacement shock size for 04/05 Heckler

[nick]

Looking for a little help here. I'm at work and can't remember what size shock goes on an 04/05 Heckler. I have a blown 5th Element Coil and am looking to replace it, need to know the eye-to-eye and stroke to order up a new one.

If anyone out there knows for sure, let me know. Muchas Gracias

I think the eye to eye is 7.85, and the stroke is 2.00
I'ma check the santa cruz site to be sure..don't quote me yet on that

*just edited for what I think the '05 measurements are

Here is what may be a really stupid question... Is it possible to use a shock with the same eye-to-eye but 2.25" stroke rather than 2" stroke. What happens if you do that?

Yes, the first of the redone Hecklers in '03/'04 came with a 2" stroke. For '05+ they bumped up to a 2.25" stroke. This yields a little more travel.

You get a little more travel

That's good, new Roco Air is on the way. Saving like a pound going to an air shock is never a bad thing.
