hey guys I know theres a lot of info on here about shocks whats been done what worked, suspension mods and so on. I wanna upgrade my shocks soon some Im doing some research and looking at price. Im considering radflo shocks and if im correct it seems like on the forum a 2.0 with 8 inch of travel is a good idea. What I wanna do is basically get a shock that I can put in the stock location and I was thinking id go with an extra inch of travel to be safe. so what SIZE would you guys recomend that being said. I have read the info here on this site and I would do a crazy shock setup but I do not have the fabricating skills and there is only one shop in my area that could help and his price is insane

thank u charlie

Going an inch longer is OK as long as you are able to compress to the required length. If you don't you will bottom out on the shock and lose travel.

I have a 6 inch up front and 8 inch in the rear. Both are in stock mounting brackets. The fronts are right at the cv bind at full extension but dont quite bind. The rears have to have limit straps or the axels will rub right before full extension. Not as nice a setup as the other guys. But works for me.

I used the Fox 2.0 coilovers with reservoirs. The 6 inch bolts in the front just right, but you may need to use a limit strap there just in case. The 8 inch bolts in the rear, but it exteneds a little too far so a limit strap is a must there. The 6 inch is a single spring and the 8 inch is a 2 spring.

      Considering buying a 2021 1500 coleman
      By Rusmis91
      I’ve never been around Coleman Utv machines. Do they have a good reputation, durable dependability. Could you compare them to yamaha rhinos or Polaris ranger
       
      thanks in advance

      Best place to find info on Hisun or Massimo UTV's
      By Eman85
      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      Some recent Hisun Sector 750 mods
      By HighSon
      Haven't posted in a while since solving the excessive cabin noise issue, so I thought I would share a few upgrades to my Sector... Realize that this is driven daily on the street, so some of the mods are to make it more streetworthy.

      Locking gas door.

      Rear view mirror.

      Modified windshield for better airflow in cabin.

      Lowered and modified headrest bar for improved rear view.  Tailgate protector.

      Folding armrests.

      Overhead utility rack.  Keeps the interior cooler and dryer, too!

      Folding rear seats.

      Dust cover and seat protector.
      If anyone wants links to the rear view mirror, seats, or arrests, let me know and I will post.  But know that everything requires some level of fabrication.  The utility rack was all custom built.  Cheers!

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.
      By rdc
      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
