86 lt230 rear shock

i was wondering if there are other shocks from different models that would fit the lt230 to make the rear more firm. like wud a 250 rear shock fit without doing a bunch of work to it?? thanks in advanced

hey lt230E (not S) rear shocks have a firmer spring rate and bolt right up. they also have a nitrogen reservoir which is a bonus too.

the E rear shocks require you to drill ur frame and swingarm out to a larger bolt hole. I installed a warrior rear shock on mine and it made a big difference

oh i almost forgot about that. i used a 10mm id by 12mm od bushing cut down to about an inch and i used the original S bolt. thats only needed for the bottom, the top bolt is the same as original.
