What is it about shocks?

[JD D05]

Anyone else just get giddy when you get some new ones?

Just ordered these for the sled.

What I know about shocks:

• Most important suspension components
• Need the best you can afford for the application
• You can’t or won’t afford the ones you (I) should buy

Well the ones above are as good as it gets for the sled woohoo. But I didn't want to deal with full air.

I love Gucci shocks[emoji106]

Sadly, Mrs Pronstar wouldn’t let me lift her new Suburban so it got Bilstein yellows instead.

Yes and they are like boobies, the bigger the better!

Shocks are one of the best inventions after the wheel.
I'm a firm believer.

2018 850 Ski Doo 175. For sleds shocks are easily the best upgrade that can be done.

If they arent blue and chrome, throw them back.



When you said sled, it took me a moment to realize you were talking about a snowmobile.

Ya I have King on my Ford although I paid etc to switch from blue to black...King is not in the snowmobile world...Fox pretty much dominates.

Snowmobiles are almost as bad as SXS when it comes to awesome aftermarket stuff. Never ending.

You gain the ability to adjust them more. My track shocks are way under what I need and I get to much rebound along with not enough spring to begin with, same with the front. These allow you to adjust compression and rebound quickly. My front suspension I like soft on compression to roll it over but they rebound way to easily, when that happens on a side hill it makes it difficult to keep the edge set.

Yup! Just ordered these for the ol' Jeep. Kings were in the won't afford category.
