Front Shock Replacement Thoughts

All, I have an 07 Polaris Dragon which came with the Walker Evans Needle shocks stock for the front suspension. Unfortunately I flattened them here about a month ago. At the time I did a little research and found that it was fairly common for the riding I do. So without wanting to spend the $600 + to rebuild the Walkers I decided to buy a stock HydeFX set off an RMK model. I have not noticed too much of a difference in the ride however there is a huge difference in the hight. If you compare the front end from mine to another dragon with the Walkers there is literally about a 4 inch difference. Not much of a deal in flat land however we do alot of deep powder riding and I tend to notice I loose alot of power due to pushing the snow. So my question here is... Do I rebuild the Walkers and hope I don't flatten them again? Spend the $$$ on something like a set of Fox Floats? stick with what I have? any suggestion appreciated... I'm really stuck on this one.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time.
