Should work just fine if I am not mistaken. Sounds like you most likely had standard travel +2 arms so the shocks should be ok with stock ones.

got them mounted but it seems like the front end is stiffer and it sits taller. any ideas?

Maybe the Elka shocks are longer than stock one's.I've also got Elka 3 on stock A-Arms and my Elka's are longer thank the stock.
I bought Houser +2 and when i receive them I'll post a picture of the quad.

I'm thinking you have standard travel elkas and your +2 arms were long travel which made your front end sit lower, and shocks seem more plush. Since you put them in standard travel arms it sits like normal and it feels stiffer
