Default New performance suspension for the Rhino

Soon to be posted on their web-site:

Fronts have piggy-back reservoir and triple-rate spring set-up with compression adjuster ($895)

Rears have remote reservoir; dual rate spring set-up with compression and rebound adjustment ($1640)

Delivery within 3 weeks.

Thanks to Mickey Dunlap (who is fabbing a 740 kit for his factory ride) for the heads up.....get out your credit card, boys and girls!

I dont know why someone would want to upgrade the Rhino shocks anyways. That thing is a cadillac all ready. The engine may need some work if you want to faster but for the most of it that thing Rocks!!!

I think that when you are in the market for $2600 in just "shocks"......wether they are just a "little" better (which I think would be an understatement).....really doesn't even pass through their minds.

Not sure I agree that stock is 'good enough'. There's a lot of room for improvement. The springs are only slightly adjustable, and there is no compression dampning or rebound dampning adjustmetns. Hit some good tough hoop-de-do's at a good rate and I'll bet you agree. Here's a test, walk up to the back end of a good sport quad (I use my Raptor as a guildline), and push down. See how far it goes? Now let up and watch what decent rebound dampning does for you. Now do that to the front or rear end of a Rhino. LOTS of room to improve. A good set of shocks should make a whole new animal out of a Rhino.
