Folks,

Does the RT have different front shocks from the 2010 to the 2011 models. The type I have in my garage that at purchased for my RS are blue in color.

The 2010 shocks are pretty soft in comparison to the 2011s.
I went from 2010s, to 2011s, and then to Elkas on mine...

There is quite a bit of difference. Stiffer spring rate and valving on the 2011/12 vs the 2010. I am not sure how you would identify them other than side by side but the part numbers are 706001059 for the 2011/12 and 706000675 for the 2010. These numbers may be stamped into the shock body.
