Guarddog- the shocks cost 850.00 american green backs. The rear axel was another 329.00. I really do not know why i did not do these 2 mods sooner. I guess that i did not think the quad was tippy, because i adjusted my riding style to componsate for it. My riding buddy put his new axle on the week before me. 5 minutes into the next ride, we stopped, looked at each other and said. wow i can't believe how much difference 4 more inches make! The axle is a great improvement if you really push the machine. The shocks are more of a luxury item. 99 percent of all quads run the factory shocks probably. How those tcs can cost 850 a pair is beyond me. Must be quite a profit margin in those babies.

I love my Axis shocks. Second best thing I have done to it. They are a little on the soft side for HUGE air, landing flat, but they work good on a track and even better in the sand. Most of my riding consist of dirt and gravel pits, we have alot of big jumps at the one I normaly ride at and have only bottomed a few times. This is even with breaking my swingarm twice.

Ward660R,
Do you have Axis all the way around, or just fronts or rear? How much did they cost, and what adjustments do they allow you to make?
