You will have to pull one of each and just check. Here is a link for the rzr shocks.

Will do. Im finding alot of things from the RZR 800 are very similar. Ill be going through looking for other stuff to upgrade as well.

Finally had time to work on the Z6 today and while it was jacked up changing brakes I measured the shock length. Eye to eye the front shocks are 19.5" and the rears are 21" and according to the link you sent me Cosmosdan the Rzr 570/800 shocks are 16.25" front and 18.5" rear. If I installed those on the EX it would actually LOWER it by a few inches...

I just found on ebay that 09 RZR XP900 shocks are the exact length of the stock Z6EX shocks front and back.  Those would be an option for an upgrade over the factory EX shocks

Might be worth a try as they are more available and priced reasonable. Might still have to narrow up the eyelets but not hard to do.

They look better than the RZR570/800 shocks too IMO. ELKA also makes shocks but they range from $474 for a set of two(F or R) up to over $700 a set for their stage 3. I cant make myself spend $1000-$1500 for shocks though... LOL

I hear the fox podium shocks are pretty good. If you can pick up a set at a good price, I think you should be happy with the ride.

The shocks and tires are going to be my next upgrade but first need to get the 4wd working and finish doing maintenance on it.

Just an update. For the Z6EX model, RZR 800S shocks fit and are the exact same length and no modification is necessary. Just installed on mine. For the EX it HAS to be the 800 S shocks though since the regular rzr 800 has shorter shocks. Also, I installed a proven companies new product offering, Garage Products A-arm bushings, and they are 1000% better than stock. They are a very snug fit where you have to put the bushings in with a rubber hammer and use a press or big c-clamp to install the sleeve and for comparison I pulled the old bushings out with pliers easily... No more loose A-arms!
