18 1/2" to 20 1/2" shock lengths?

first off, i don't own a snowmobile. if it snowed in florida, i'd have one. i've got a can-am outlander 800 ATV. while browsing on e-bay for HPG shocks, i got the idea to check out what other recreational vehicles might use the same shocks as my ATV. the price of picking up a slightly used set of ski-doo shocks and springs is substantially less than buying new ATV shocks and springs. because of that, i'm wondering what models of ski-doos have shock lengths in the 18 1/2" to 20 1/2" lengths. i can play around with spring rates later, if necessary. the stock length on my shocks are 18 1/2" eye to eye, or about 19" overall. i could make a 1-2" lift kit for the front suspension, but i'd rather get longer shocks if available.

thanks in advance for your help
