Just remember that with most shocks you lose stroke with going to a shorter shock (not always though). Since it's something like 3:1, if you lose 1/2" stroke you'll lose 1-1/2" of travel. That doesn't sound like much, but on a bike that has maybe 6-1/2" travel it's over 20%. You'll then have to increase the spring rate the same amount to keep get the same bottoming resistance...which gives up some ride quality. Just pointing it out....
