Blew rear shock today

[Overboost]

well, with a 22 year old rear shock, set on the stiffest setting, jumping and racing in the sand dunes has yielded the familiar bounce that we all know and love when the oil in the shock gets left in a small puddle in the sand.

then the ride back in the trail, with all the whoop ties, made for an interesting ride back to camp to say the least.

 

my question is, is there a nice upgrade for the rear shock without going elka or something pricey?

or should I just stick with a stocker and put some rezzies in the front?

 

the travel on the suspension is kinda crap compaired to my buds DS 650 (who got beat up repeatedly in the dunes and on the straights, from a dig and on the roll)

 

I may just go with a stocker but if there is an upgrade that will cost about the same to put in, since I have to change it anyways, might as take the opportunity to go better..

 

any suggestions?

yea, but is this for the entire shock unit or internal parts only?

 

is the stock one rebuildable? if so, then this may be a good option

[ban99]

yes, the stock shock is re-buildable. I personally have not used this item but have been told that it is a good alternative to a new aftermarket shock.
