Default G14 Front Shocks

My lifted G14 does not rebound in the front like it should, I am sure that the shocks are getting tired. Looks kind of funny from the front the tires bow out at the bottom a little bit. Any ideas on a replacement shock without having to spend $100 each for the front end shocks?

Not sure where stuff4mason is getting his shocks, but I've looked and like you said are at least $80 a piece. I thought maybe he found the shocks and swapped his old springs but I cant find anyone who sells just the shocks either. Sorry I cant help.

No, not new. Sorry, thought you were looking for a deal!! You said its lifted. As long as the shock length matches, atv shocks will work on the fronts.

Until you find some, switch them side for side. Or put split shaft collars on them.

Mike Mac, that would probably be the cheapest alternative to add some spring pressure again, you know where I can find them?

Need to measure diameter of your shock body. Mine were one and a quarter inches. Shimming shocks was not their intended purpose. Doubt the place I went to has a web site. Its called; "Bearing, belt and Chain". In Phoenix. Don't know where you live, but Plowman shims shocks for around $50. a pair!! Also need to make sure you won't have a "coil bind", issue after shimming.
