They're relatively easy to shorten if you're already on the long side. Got mine done a couple of weeks ago by Bad Ass Bikes...

Piece of cake to change them. Guide on the Pike Manual on Sram website. I got my 140 air spring from Germany, cost about £25. I'll see if I can find the site again.

I bought a 130mm just after Christmas and couldn't find them anywhere but the states, so that's where I got it from.

I cut 10mm off my 15 shaft with a hacksaw and filed it carefully to the same shape. There is a thread about shortening them somewhere on mtbr. Machine shops or Loco will do it properly for you, but the cost might be around the same as a new air spring.

Worth bearing in mind a hacksaw to the air shaft will void the warranty, if it still has one.

My LBS got one from Fishers.
Couldn't source a 130mm one though.
