shock question????

I know some of you guys have been changing out your stock shocks. has anyone tried fox shocks on a standard rzr with a lift.

WV Hot Rod Rhino is selling front shocks off of certain Suzuki ATVs that work great on my RZR. I think he said they're Fox supplied. Great price, great results for me. I use them with SuperATV springs. They're an inch longer than stock and you have to relocate the radiator overflow expansion jug to accommodate the shock reservoir. I played with spring compression and have them set at mid thread. Increased the rear shock setting from lowest to the middle notch to level the chassis. I'm just south of Ripley. Come on over an try them out.

I got some from WV Hot Rhino too but have not installed them yet but someone brought up a good point to me that if these shocks are off of a sport quad that weighs less than 500 lbs I wonder how they will hold up with double the weight on them.

Well I know we did around 250 miles last trip and I never once bottomed out like I did with the stock shocks...........

He told me there two different springs. White(stiffer) and Red(softer). I know my SuperATV springs are much stiffer than the red spring that came on the shocks. If you know I've chopped my cage, you can imagine how I almost knocked myself out finding how hard I can hit a ditch and not bottom out. Great setup (only my opinion). No concussion, yet.

I did some checking on the white and red springs and they are the same, just different colors for different color bikes.

These shocks cost about 600.00 each new!!!!!!!

That makes sense why the springs are a different color and that's why I can't have white springs on a yellow and black machine

If they are $600.00 each new then $200.00 a set is a great deal :kick ass:

Sorry...$780.12 each

Are you guys putting them just on the front or all the way around? Ever since I got the EMP bumper and Viper winch, I am bottoming out more! Gotta fix this problem.
