You can buy the new stock shocks for the trooper from silverbullet , no limits and jmc, I think the rear are 200.00 each and front 125.00

I blew my rear shock out 2 seasons ago. We are going to be going out this year and I need a shock. If anyone has a used stock shock they want to sell or a new one please send me an email [email protected]

thanks Anthony

That is a lot of coin for a sub-standard product made in China. Thing could not cost more than $30 from the factory. JMHO, if you have to go to a new shock put the money towards a couple of FOX shocks or another USA product in the rear. You will save money in the long run and your machine will handle better. The factory shocks are not rebuild-able and fail. I blew one also and upgraded to FOX so I walk the talk.

I know they are expensive for a junk shock, I have alot of things going on. I lost my job a few years back, then opened my own shop and after awhile work fell off so I took a job and still work at my shop on customer projects and try to do my own. I really want to get the trooper back together so my wife and kids could go out but I need a few more things for it and dont want to spend 200 on 1 shock

Hang in there as some of the posters on here have changed out their shocks and may have a used one at a reasonable price. Mine are still mounted on my Trooper as spring struts so I don't have a spare. I added Fox shocks without coil-overs. The mod I did is posted on this site.

I read about your shocks, I have been a memeber since 08, I just havent posted in a very long time. It just wasnt in my cars to fix the trooper and use it so it got parked in the back of the shop then moved into storage in my grandfather garage once he passed. We just went thru some hard times as my wife an I lost the baby we where expecting. I know she has been on me to fix the trooper since she really loves going to the dessert and to the river and ride. Heck she has wanted it fixxed since it broke but I could never seem to find the time to work on it or when I was slow I had no money. LOL now I have neither. I could do without the expense of the dessert trips but know she enjoys it and my kids do also.

I started on the rear cage to ad seats for my kids ,so I need to finish the cage,but seats and belts,get a shock and limit straps so I dont blow out the shocks anymore, and pay the tags. Im looking forward to being able to use it but not spending the money lol

We know what you mean. We too hate to let any dollars go in this economic market. Problem is at our ages if we don't we may not get to enjoy before that last ride comes knocking & we can't take it with us !!!! It has been quiet here on the board lately so if you don't hear from anyone just add a little post to this topic so it stays at the top of the list. Someone out there has what you need & will contact you. Just may take a little time.

Where do you need limit straps if you are still running the stock shocks?

Kinarfi

I thought I read along time ago that the stock shock was limiting how much the arm would drop, If thats the case then I assume the shock with too stiff of a coild rebounded and yanked itself so hard that it blew out. I planned to limit the travel so the shock would not top out

Posted

You are correct, the shock has little rebound damping and bangs itself apart. Limit straps are the way to go if you are going to run the stock shocks in the rear. The fronts don't have the same problem.

well I got a call to make tomorrow and am crossing my fingers that the place has a used one. I have an extended warr but they dont cover shocks. Not sure if they cover consiqinsel damage , like if one part fails and then causes another to get damaged ? I know working at automotive dealers they normally do with extended warr. If thats the case maybe I could nicely talk the shop into saying a weld for the tab broke or a bolt snapped for the spindle and caused it to then take out the shock ? maybe throw them alittle something for the trouble

      I got the fronts adjusted.  I'm trying to raise the ride height in the rear, but my spanner wrench keeps slipping.  Is there an easier better way?  It's like there's too much pressure working against me to be able to twist the height adjusters.  How can I relieve that tension to make them easier to turn?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      I have a 2021 UV34XL and I am kind of looking to change it up from the orange wheels and maybe do a wrap?  Please share photos of any XLs that has been modified to look better and any seat covers recommended.thanks

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]
