yeh i noticed these too. what gives & whats the difference? i'm thinking that these are for the ride-in suspension??? i got the regular ones b/c i wanted to get the '07 stock height back. i thot i liked the ride-in but the only thing i like is the seat & i'm wondering if i like that now.

I think the shock is shorter on the Tcat, not much. I put a set of stock Tcat coils on my 05 500 shocks and I didn't need to compress the spring much at all. did it by hand with no tool. I haven't measured them. so maybe they are the same.

i think the shocks are the same its the springs that are shorter and softer to give the "ride in" ride they where after.

there are different part number shocks. I know you can get HL coils on the Tcat shocks. but I do think the stock Tcat shocks are just a pinch shorter.
