| I'd have to say any aftermarket shock set up for you style of riding has to be better then stock, but my favorite ones are Walker Evans. They also are gonna cost lil under $1500 for 4. You can just buy springs for your stock shocks which would be a lot cheaper I guess it's how much do you want to spend. Elka, Fox, King and Afco are all pretty good shocks.
As for just springs, check out High Lifter http://www.highlifter.com/categories.php?p_cat=4429&cname=Suspension+%26+Drive+Train%3A+Suspension | |

| i'm running the progressive 425 shocks. dollar for dollar the best buy. walkers, I shock, fox alittle better for airing it out but will run $1400.00 to $2200.00 dollars. the cheapest place to get the 425's is www.atvoutfitters.com $279.00 front and $279.00 for the rear. great shock for the trails and gncc racing. set preload and go. hope this helps. | |

| If you were putting shocks on a RZR I would totally agree with yellow ZX01, I also agree with Redneck49 on the Rhino.
With a Waker Evans or a Elka you just have more adjustability. I have Walker Evan's on my RZR and it's nice being able to tune for whether I'm riding by myself or if I have a passenger in a matter of second's. It does make a difference. | |

| no had to put shocks on back burner kw had to have major repairs will be a month or so till I see day light again lol but have been looking at the 425 progressive. went ahead and set the stock junkers up all the way and put the sway bar back on to keep from hearing the shock spring unload for now | |

| pull your rear swaybar and turn the rear shocks down to the first or second notch and that will take the thump out of the rear end. i still have my stockers on the rear. i'm going to order the rear progressives end of next week. thanks i'll let you know how it turns out | |
