Shock question

Do any of you guys have the Fox 2.0 shocks on a stock RZR? I recently got some seat time in my dads new RZR-S and man it's very smooth. Would those FOX shocks make a RZR ride as smooth as the S model? Or does the S just ride better because of the longer arms and more suspension travel? I don't wanna sink 1600.00 into the RZR just to find out I need the longer A arms as well.

It will ride much better with the 2.0's, but there is no substitute for long travel (7" vs. 14") ... IMHO

Thats what I was afraid of, LOL!! Those long travel kits are expensive and out of my price range. Those shocks you were selling how do they do in comparison to the Fox shocks?

You need to take a spin in 1 of the regular rzr that several guys in the group have with the JBS resishock set up. I havem on my 08 rzr & love the way they perform. They might not be quiet there with the Walker Evans or the rzrS but I doubt anything other than long travel would get much better. They're the most bang for the buck in rzr suspension to me Just talk to James wvhotrodrhino......he'll fix ya up !

I hear ya ... it's never cheap with these things. Honestly ... it's not gonna be like buying brand new Fox 2.0's ... but it is comparable for 1/2 the cost & I haven't had anyone complain. I can do a set all the way around with new springs & the rear brackets for $750 + shipping (or you can come down for a install & a ride). Also I ordered a gauge & nitrogen kit to make sure they are all charged with no leaks.

FYI the stock S shocks will not fit on a reg rzr with out the longer arms.
also the Fox 2.0 are only on the rzr4 and the new XP the LE rzrS has the reg fox Podium X

These are what I was calling the Fox 2.0. These are aftermarket made to fit the stock RZR A arms. I know they are shorter than what is on the stock RZR-S.
