Aftermarket Shocks for Trooper


dude47

Recommended Posts

The back right corner of my trooper is starting to sag. Think my dad worked it a little hard on the whoops and blew out the shock. Does anyone have a resonably priced set up they used for aftermarket shocks? I can't justify putting 3k worth of shocks on a machine I only paid 4k for used lol.

Thanks for your input in advance!

How well does your trooper do on whoops and bumpy hard pack? I am very interested in going with foas. They are reasonably priced. Also I have gotta ask how you made your rear fenders?

During this bad weather, (winter), I just reworked the front shocks to have more rebound dampening and haven't had a chance to try them, but I'm sure they are as good as any other shock, way better than stock, and you can rebuild them. The rears were doing quite well, but the front had too little rebound dampening and I have just fixed that, I hope, but need to test it.

I'll have to take some photos of my fenders for you, but the plastic came from http://www.speedwaymotors.com/in the form of a 10’ or 25' X 22" X 1/8” rolls (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Colored-Plastic-Rolls-25-Ft,31414.html ) and the frame work is a piece of 1" X 1/2" channel iron bent around the tire and supported by 2 1/2" square tubes and stabilized at the front.

photos later today, hopefully.

My whole air shock setup cost me about 1300-1400 rides Awsome can't power slide though without body roll but I like it a lot

Good to hear. They have been trying the new air shocks on the Supercross bikes and they have not preformed as well as the old setups. Most of the riders have returned to there old setups siting lack of feel in the air shocks.

Ya Rocmoc I really like it, air shocks are coming a long way and over the weekend I watched a show called xtreme 4x4 and theres these new off road airstrutts coming out its almost like a dual rate air shock with lots of adjustment not with just pressure but valving and they also cut the wieght down. Im gonna try post the link when I think to watch it again. What the latest with the JEEPS

You mentioned two different sets here. I take it the bottom info is for the rear shocks?

      Does anyone out there have a rear differential for a trooper for sale?
    • By Kingfish
      I've had a battery failure and need one replacement.  The local distributor told me it might take up to four weeks to get one.  I'd like to order one in sooner than that if possible.  Any help would be appreciated.

      Does anyone have a had time starting there utv.
      I have a T-Boss 750 and I have had to put 2 starters in and put heavier wire to the starter but it still has a problem starting. it will turn over and than die before it wil turn over again. could it be that there is to much compression that might cause this problem
       
      Thank you

      I have a 2023 T-Boss 410. The starter is just spinning but nothing is turning over. It was working fine and just stalled. Tried to restart and starter just spins. Thought maybe the interior of the starter broke. Ordered and installed a new starter and it does the same thing. You just hear the starter spinning but does not seem like anything is catching. I checked the gear the starter engages and that is clean and turning freely. Any idea what the issue could be?
