There are shocks on e-bay #280797654903 & #280797653165. I know it's a lot to ask with just a picture, but can anyone tell if the would work on a T2, 08. I emailed the guy but he could not tell me what model they came off of, only that he thinks it was a 1000cc buggy. I haven't seen double spring shocks on the troopers I've seen. If one of you knows I need answer pretty quick the go off in 7hrs.

IMHO, they will not work! They do not compress enough. See my post of http://www.utvboard....rch__1#entry659 Just subtract the travel from the extended length and you get in around 18 or so compressed. Be careful !!!

Lots of post on here about shocks. Do a search for shocks rocmoc, shocks Lenny and shocks Kinarfi for as a few who have changed out or modified their shocks.

I agree with Rocmoc. They also look like cheap shocks from China. I wouldn't touch them myself. Wait for a good buy on Quality shocks like Fox dual coil over. Then You can tune them to get things right.

Thanks, I'll wait till I get enough saved up to buy good shocks. I want Kings but man are the expensive, probably settle for fox or something like them, takes a long time to save on SSI.

Best thing I ever did to my t4 was to put Kings on it. Ride Is so much better. I had stock on it for 50 miles on a test ride and changed them immediately. 2k but a great investment if you like a smoother ride. Power steering was 2nd best modification.

I hate to bring this back up, but I want to know if anyone has " time tested" the Afcos from makin trax. I will be doing a shock upgrade before winter is over and I am curious to know if the Afcos are making difference or if I should do a more custom job. Thanks.

I wouldn't do anything with shocks that didn't allow you the ability to change both rebound and compression valving without sending it in. Same with springs. I also wouldn't do anything with a shock that won't take 2 springs, a tender spring and a main spring, and allow the ability to switch them out easily. If you want to get the suspension right, you really need to fool around with switching springs and valving until it preforms the way you want. You can get a lot of improvment by just going to better shocks that replace the stock shocks. Springs need to be changed out too, stock ones are just to stiff. But, if you want it to ride really good and still take the big hits, you have to work with it.

Not sure what 2scoops did. You can get more travel with frame mods. I'm getting 14-1/2" both front and rear. Stock travel is is only about 7-1/2" on one end and about 9" on the other. Can't remember which end was what anymore.

      2025 Amp Crew Ranch Edition range issues and questions.
      By Cliffampranch
      Hi All,
      I have a 14 mile round trip on level roads to reach the property where I work with my 2025 Amp Crew Ranch (purchased, April 2026).  That 14 mile round trip uses 60% of the battery as shown on the gage for a calculated range of 23.3 miles versus an advertised “up to 50 miles” range.  A mile or two working on the property gets me a flashing gage and warning beeping by the time I get home.  The dealer was good to work with and even with a new battery (yesterday) the results were about the same, although there seemed to be more power and a higher top speed.  I own a Mach-e Mustang so I am familiar with how various conditions affect range, but less than 50% of advertised range just seems like there has to be something out of whack.
      Now I’m wondering if there is a controller and/or software issue affecting the range and performance.  At various points the Amp seems to lose power for no reason and then has trouble maintaining speed.  Any ideas?
      Also, twice now, the brakes seem to have not released fully.  After noticing reduced speed, I stopped and check the rotors and wheel…..HOT!  So, now every time I feel less power, I stopped to cycle the brakes and check the temperature.  Very annoying.  Are there any adjustments to be had?
      And yes, as noted in another post, sometimes the switching from forward to reverse or high to low speed feels sluggish or balky.
      Lastly, while an electric vehicle powertrain is quiet, my Amp was horrible from a road noise and vibration standpoint.  This was easily fixed by locating panels vibrating on other panels or the frame (even the cup holders were vibrating) and installing felt adhesive pads at the contact points (seat to frame, windshield to frame, fenders to frame, etc.).  This is a $10 and 1/2 hour fix that makes a significant improvement in the driver/passenger experience.  Tire noise, yes, but that’s because of the knobby tread.
      I’m trying hard to like my Amp and would appreciate any tips, advice or solutions.

      Hoping someone out there somewhere can help.....2019 Massimo Buck 400S
      By AaronD1982
      Onto the next problem, everything has been replaced in the charging system except the Flywheel Rotor, I have it torn apart all the way down to said rotor, but it is suggested that a specific puller is required, and a compatible rotor seems virtually impossible to find.  I can find many like it, but this one is mine scenario for those that get the reference.  For all I know I have the last Massimo Buck 400S on the planet and will never find another part again, but who knows.  Any ideas, help or otherwise that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

      Can-Am spare parts?
      By Fmaxiron
      Hit a rock last weekend and trashed my front A-arm and axle on my Outlander. I’ve been looking around for reliable sources for replacement components. A lot of listings online look a bit hit or miss, so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually worth trusting.
      Has anyone here had good luck with dealers or sites where you can buy genuine Can-Am spare parts online without worrying about quality issues or fake OEM stuff? I’d rather pay a bit more and get the right fit than deal with problems later.
      Any recommendations appreciated.
