Shock tuning

93 Krawler · 11-03-2016, 04:58 PM

Does anyone know of a place that does shock tuning on SXS's? I know mine could ride better and also get rid of the bucking when you hit a ramp or whoops.

Do your shocks have preload adjustment (threaded collars on the shock that basically tighten or loosen the springs)?

Yes

Probably worth playing around with the preload setting some as it may get rid of the bucking (assuming the back end is kicking up when hitting big bumps or jumps?).

I know there are several places that will revalve shocks and will try to find them. Think I have heard the cost is in the $600 range for this work.....and why I suggest messing with the preload first.

I have messed with preload before. Never got it to stop bucking in the rear. I run the preload at the softest setting now so it rides good. I want it to ride like a 1000 does. Not sure if thats possible.

This place is relatively local and can take care of your suspension issues.
