Nicely done @jak9922

I still NEED one of these 500's. I'll be watching what's next with the rears.

If front shocks are inadequate, wouldn't it be helpful to keep as much weight off the front end as possible?

Underhood storage, bumpers, and winches come to mind.

All useful, but with a downside, too.

I'm sure you will be. Plus it's like you said, now you know Rhino shocks will fit you can upgrade to whatever brand you want. Rhinos probably have as much aftermarket options as RZR's!

They look pretty, that is all I can assess from a picture. Is the stroke of the shock different, meaning did you gain additional travel over the 5.9"?

even if i took the stock shock and moved the lower mount lower on the arm it would gain travel even tho lowering the vehicle

So how much clearance from skid belly to ground do you think you'll end up with? I just did the shock recall here in Canada, also put on a 1" spacer but have not ridden enough to really comment just yet.
