Default front struts went bad

I bought a 400 explorer 2-smoke recently from my parents and today I noticed both front struts have been leaking pretty bad and the reason I looked was they were bottoming out a bunch. So whats a good replacement for these? I would like something better than stock that can handle a 250lb rider rideing agressively. If not any good options, does anyone have some stockers laying around they would be willing to part with???? Shoot me a PM if so!

If you are bottoming out you may need stiffer springs or a preload kit. Check on ebay for struts I think you can get the kimpex for like 120.

I can tell you not to buy the Works struts. they were all wrong,,To long for any long travel spring that polaris made,to hard,andI tried every spring combo you can get for that set up.
