G-8 Shock question

rvs2sell · 03-22-2008, 11:34 AM

I would like to replace my rear shocks. The cart has a simple lift kit and 22x11x10 tires. What size shocks can I use? Can you use shocks for a quad? The stock shocks work good when the kids are on the back, but don't cut it with adults on.

Thanks!

Paul

Paul...I've used "Jakes" HD coil over upgrade spring kit on many projects. They are pretty easly to intall and have worked great for "rear facing seat" cars. You may waant to check them out. Better than reworking aftermarket shocks. Later Dave

That sounds great! Where can I find these and what do they usually run in price?

Thanks again,
Paul

Check ebay for quad shocks. If your just wanting to lift it more, you can make some shock extensions from boxed in tubing.

Thanks for the reply! By the way, what is the length of the shock? I see some that are 12" and some are longer.

Thanks again,
Paul
