Fox shocks

[Andy]

could hcr arms work with this also?

I don't know the upper and lower cycle of the HCR system so you might need to do some math to get the correct shock length unless they will share that with you. if your shock is to long to short or wrong shaft stroke you can brake stuff or bind a CV. Its funny most manufacture will not share data. Thumper would not share any shock info we had to do all the math in house. What Shock dose HCR Offer? if there kit is for a Stock shock then the Kings we had made will not work. but you could us the stock replacement Fox QS3's its not a bad set up for the cost.

It's awesome to have someone here that really understands the details behind shocks and suspension set-ups. Thanks again Andy for the information that you provide.

As mentioned I done some custom shocks on a couple machines but you are far above my knowledge level. We mostly ride our 65 acres which is 75% rock so suspension upgrades would benefit us.

Once had ridetech air suspension on a 900 Ranger was interesting, you had individual shock control so in an off-camber you could somewhat level yourself, it got me out of a few uneasy situations. That was 15+ years ago when we were part of trail blazing at Windrock and Brimstone

It sure is, I played with suspension a few times in my life so pretty much understand your explanation.
I truly appreciate you taking the time and willingness to share these intricate details.

Hey Andy , I got a hold of king shocks and they dont have any inf on your setup? Would you mind if I gave you a call?

If you want easy id just buy the Fox Shocks will be a big difference over stock.

keep in mind the specs we came up with we did in house. We think they work great. You order what we have you will need to do a bit of modifying to mount the external reservoir. And I’d recommend runing limiting straps. I can send some pictures of how we did ours.

Here is the King shock contact. This is there race department guy and there is no returns on a custom shock package.

Here is the valving spec's we ended up with. I think we're going to make one more adjustment but this will get you real close.

I may look into that.
