A buddy has a Prairie 400 2wd that the rear end SAGS BAD. Is there any place that sells a replacement that is stronger (more stiff)? Is this a common problem on the Prairies?

 

i have a 300 and i'm pretty sure they use the same rear shock.the spring is replaceable with a stronger one. hope this helps you. rob

 

My bro has a '99 400 4x4, and we just hauled his 250lb and my 230lb carcases on it as we were riding into our hunting spot, and the machine did not sag a bit. Is the 4x4 different in the rear? Is it just springs? Pardon my lack of prairie knowledge.

 

I have got the 300 4x4 and we've been usin' it to haul all our hunting stuff around. Now the rear end will compress when I put a load on it but won't rebound after everything is removed. I can lift the rear rack by hand and the wheeler will raise back to its factory height. I think either the shock is history or the spring is weak or both. What do you think?

 

i would try a stiffer replacement spring
