Up until about 1994 when long travel came to the snowmobile inustry, the Original Pro-Action rear suspension was considered by most in the industry to be the best rear suspension. Remove it, clean, inspect, grease the shafts, replace necessary bearings and yes, any of the sled shocks from that era will work ie SRV, Exciter II's, 92-96 Vmax4's and the 94-96 Vmax 5/600's all used the Original Pro-Action rear !
