My rear shock is pretty crappy. Its a '96 and the shock has never been rebuilt or anything (just purchased the quad). I'm a 210lb 6'0" person and it really sucks. My front shocks are Works and are really nice, but the rear stock one is just uck! It definitely needs a rebuild or something.

 

Anyway... whats the best solution to get a decent rear shock in the rear of this? I don't race or anything but thoroughly enjoy jumping. Not sure if I should invest in a super rebuild kit or a replacement stock shock or a used aftermarket shock or what. Not looking to spend $500+ on it, hopefully just a couple hundred at most.

 

Rebuilt my Tecate-4 shock a bunch of years back and it wasn't a problem. Didn't even need a tool to compress the spring or anything. Didn't change any valving or anything since it wasn't crucial to have an exactly dialed-in shock but it was good to have something underneath for the occasional jump.

 

Suggestions? Part numbers and prices are excellent too if someone has any of those lying around... :) Thanks!

Call Todd Davis at TCS (Total Conttrol Suspension) he can completley re-build, re-valve, re-spring your rear shock for about 1/2 the price of the cheapest replacemant after-market rear shocks. He's a good guy, easy to deal with and does great work. (909) 245-7484.
