Im looking at some volkl walls that are 185cm long. Wondering if they're a good size for me. I know that longer skis are more stable. I'm 5'10 and a half and weigh 155 naked. These good???

Without any other info I support. Short skis are for squares.

However what will you be skiing most on these? Rails vs jumps? Skiing ability? What length are you on now?

Made the jump from 176 ski to the line chronic in a 185. Super stable and to be honest I dont really notice the longer length especially since they are so close to center (-1.5 from core center). Im 5'9 btw and 170 lbs. The chronics to have some eary rise though so they also ski a bit short. A full camber ski is gonna ride longer. I would say go for it, expecially if you throw attacks or something light on em. My Chronics + sth 16 are a bit on the heavy side. They would be perfect if they were just a bit lighter.
