Come on over. Its just a home made lift with the 400 shocks. It was pretty easy to build.

Maybe the drastic difference in experience with these shocks is due to the weight difference of the cart?

Jadawg & Chuddly, are your carts gas or electric?

I installed Rhino shocks on my G9 with long travel front end, Shocks measure about 16" high and are adjustable, They work great!!

I have a yamaha g2 and when I was building my suspension I was also working on a guys suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 atv. The rear shocks worked perfect on my cart to give about 4-5" of lift in the rear without having to make any drop down brackets. If I were to get these shocks, I would go with the suzuki Vinson 500 4x4 rear shocks because they are the same length but have preload adjustments. I name these atvs because they run dual rear shocks that are around 18-19" long I believe.

Hmmm, blows that theory out of the water.

I have a pair of Monroe SensaTrac coilovers for a Dodge Caravan on the way, $91/pair shipped from JustSuspension.com. I'm told that I'll need to swap out the spring for the stock Marathon rear spring & should end up with about 5" of lift in the rear, more travel than stock & more support for a load in the back. Also makes room for other things & eliminates the 3" block lift.

bansheemxer what are you running on the front? Looks like you got some serious articulation
