I need new shocks for my 220, the one's that are on it are totally shot, will a pair of stock 300ex shocks fit without much change in ride because I can get a set of new 300ex shocks pretty cheap so if they'll work it would be alot better than buyin $400+ worth of shocks for them to wear out in another year or 2.

 

hey 4wheelr220,

I used to own a bayou before trading it on my Boss. I loved it but needed more CC's anyway, i looked into modding it extensively. as for weather or not the 300 EX shox will fit it, i don't know, but i wouldn't recemend it, they are much longer then the bayous, and because of the single a arm suspension, you can't add much moe travel. Works performance makes some after-market ones for it, but i'll tell ya, they aren't cheap. Good luck whatever you choose.

What are you doing to go through your shocks so fast? My quad still has the origionals and it's over 8 years old. Are you jumping the quad or something? (and yes I do ride my quad all the time)

 

If you go with OE shocks get front shocks for the 300 bayou. I think the are only about 1/4 inch longer and they are preload adjustable.I did it on mine and it worked very well.

 

On my Bayou I bought some Suzuki Quad Runner 230 front shocks which do fit in the bayou. The new springs have a preload and I also reversed the front tires to get a little more wider stance in the front. If you can find some at a avt savage yard, I think you'll be impressed, I am.

 

The reason I went through the shocks fast was because I jumped it a lil bit when I first got it, and I drove it alot this winter with the plow on. I think i might get a set of 300 shocks for it if I can find a pair, thanks.

 

I jumped the livin crap out of mine, and it was a 97! in the end, its sus didn't even fade! traded it this year for 1800, i think yours is a little messed up. although i can't think of what would cause that!
