i have a scram 500 99 and i am happy with it but when i come down off of pretty big jumps my front suspension bottoms out i was wondering if i get new what should i get and since mine is a 99 it has a smaller back shock then 2000 and up so should i just get a 2001 shock that is bigger??? i know there is many Q's but i need help!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have a 99 Scrambler 500 also. I put HD springs on the front. By the way, what exactly is the difference between the rear suspension on a 99 vs. 2000 & up? Is it just the shock or is there more?

 

i dont know all i know is that the shock is bigger did h
d springs help?/

 

The 2000&up shock won't fit in the 99 frame. They the changed the geometry quite a bit to get the additional travel. If you put in the longer shock, it raises the back of the machine about 4 or 5 inches and the spring binds with the frame. My dealer tried this as a solution to fix my repeatedly stripped out cheap plastic spring adjuster.

Ditto what Xplor said. I have a pair on my Sport (1997 with new long travel front end) and they work great. They won't bottom on anything I care to jump.

 

I don't know about the 99's but the 2001's have a FOX 1.5 rear shock, I think the 2000's do too but not sure!!!!

Peace out dudes!!!!
