View Full Version : How much do a good set of shocks help really?

The reason I ask is because I am a 6' 2", 234 lb. rider and when I jump, I sometimes bottom out. (I wonder why?....maybe because I am a fat ***** ??)
:D Anyhoo, I have a dump bed trailer that I set up in the yard, tilted the bed up which is about 3 1/2 to 4' off the gound, and even with that, I still hit bottom. Not too bad, but enough to make me cringe. Would a set of Elka's all the way around take care of this, or do I nedd to get other A arms as well? I've never had the opportunity to ride any machines with good shocks so I have no idea. Thanks

Shocks are the best investment for a quad. You won't need a arms, just call C&D or Quadshop and they'll hook ya up with a good deal. They will also answer any questions you may have about suspension.

Shocks are the single biggest improvement you can make to a quad no matter your size or your riding ability.

once you get better suspension, you will kick yourself in the butt and wonder why you didn't get suspension sooner.:)
