Look for a set of Predator TLD Fox shocks with piggyback rezzies for it.

You can buy a rezzie kit for those fox shocks. You just need to rebuild them and add the rezzie (with the required changes). I know polaris sells the kit on their website http://www.purepolaris.com/Search.aspx?q=inmeta:Models~ATV+2004+Predator%2050 0,.

i didn't know you could buy just the rezzies. that will be the way to go. that will be the same price as buying someone elses and sending to laz or colby. thanks.

you can get good set of TLD shocks for 300 or so. IMO they would be better than adding rezzies. The shock bodies you have are steel the TLD shocks are aluminum which means they would cool better than the steel bodied and the $250 doesnt include the installation of the rezzies.

the yfz shocks will work but it has to be the LT ones and it will raise the front end a little, but you can adjust it out using the preload nut cause its only like .25''-.5'' depending on the aarm they were used on. These are elka elites for a lt yfz (measured 18.5 center eye to center eye) and my stockers were 18" same way.

The only thing you would have to do in order to get them to fit properly is grind out a little material on the lower shock mount, I never did this because they fely great just bolted up so whatever theyre at it good for me :)

I have the tld shocks and they work great. If you can find them cheap I would buy these over installing yfz's or adding rezzies to yours, its too much work.
