View Full Version : Aftermarket shock worth the $$$

I need some help deciding on a rear shock. I ordered new TCS fronts with cans and I just can't decide if I want to drop another $750 for a new rear shock. I don't know if it is that much better than a stock rebuild. I don't race, mainly just haul balls in the dunes. I have never had a aftermarket rear and have nothing to compare it to. Honestly I have the cash, I just don't want to waist it. Give a brother a little advice.

As good as some of the rebuilds are these days, I would go that route instead of aftermarket for the riding you described. We went to a LT front end on one of our YFZ's but retained our Derisi rebuilt rear simply because it works that well!
