Well, I've had it with these OEM shocks on my Rancher. They'd be fine if I had both racks maxed out, but they are killing me! I did a search, read a few threads, but want more opinions....

What replacements would be the best for the buck? Brand? On-line place to buy? Fit for a 04 TRX350FM 4x4?

Any with adjustablity? Rebuildable?

Didn't find anything at Dennis Kirk or Rocky Mountain Atv.

Thanks all for input, I love this forum! (plutonically, in a non-commital way.........well.........maybe a little commital)

 

Check out progressivesuspension.com, they have great aftermarket shocks for a lot of Honda utilities, and they are a lot cheaper than any other brand.

 

Find a dealer that deals with Tucker Rocky. They have a kit that relocates the shocks. That makes the quad ride alot better. The part number is 56-1657 they are in close out .

 

Thanks guys, I'll check it out.

 

Man I felt the same way about my rubi, rode like a brick until I got a perfex suspension kit, best money I've ever spent on a quad.

 

Hey Shortcut how much did those shocks for your Rubi cost? Where did you get it?

 

MolokaiRider,

I heard the shocks from Works Shocks Products were good here's a link to their site.

It's not shocks, it's a suspension kit that changes the angle of the shocks.

Oh, I had always thought that if Honda did change the angle of the shocks it would make it smoother, are the kits hard to install? will they raise the height of the machine? I am having to decide between a Rincon and a Rubi, would you say the kit is enough to get a Rubi over a Rincon for ride and handiling quality?
Thanks for the help.

 

Easy to install, never ridden a rincon so I couldn't say how the ride compares but it did make a world of diff. in how the rubi rides. It raised the rubi about an inch.
