well what works best for me is a stock shock tied down almost all the way leave about 3-4 in of travel and you will come out of the whole like a rocket but the reason people use strut so h.p. an torque get to the ground faster but with a banshee stock tied down works better than strut cause they have so much wheel spin a 250r or lt500 dont have that much wheel spin and thus is why they use struts
