Default Late model scrambler struts

Do the newer scrambler ride better than the older ones? Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket struts to get a smoother ride? My sport rides rough in front!

Default Late model scrambler struts

I put Fox struts on my '96 Sport and it helped a little. I would get the newer long travel fox struts (or whatever the hi-perf is now) and use long travel trailblazer springs. You can compare part numbers and spring rates on the polaris parts sites that some of the dealers have. Make sure you get the newer springs that match the long travel struts. I think the newer struts and springs use different spring seats and washers on the top and you should check the diameter of the struts to make sure (I think they are the same). I haven't done this on mine yet but I did research it on the sites and it should work. The weight of the front of the
Trailblazer should be a few pounds lighter than your Sport so it should give a good ride and still handle good. If you dealer has one in stock you could park yours beside it and make sure there are no other differences.
