P500 Another shock option

[Chooglin]

For those that are considering uprading your shocks , there is another company that will be offering shocks for the 500. The beauty of these shocks is , you can adjust the compression and rebound separately!

Id certainly like to have rebound adjustment on the rear!
With our short wheelbase, the rear being pitched up makes it like a circus ride sometimes...

If I didn't purchase the WE already , I would have bought these for this very reason !

Sounds like a good reason to pass along your deal on the WE to me.

Dibs!

Can’t blame a guy for trying.

You know what, these are tempting enough for me to actually consider buying.
I of course will look into them a bit more but they just make sense to me.

My 1st concerns are shock life overall, are they rebuildable and if so at what cost, and how much abuse can the limit straps take before they snap and frag an axle.

Just spit balling off the top of my head i wonder if these shocks together with something similar to the lift kit but geared more towards allowing longer A-arms to allow longer travel distance but keep it at or very near 50" .....still leaves the axle problem.....a narrower front diff with longer axles.....oh well just thinking....doesn't hurt to think.

EDIT:It really does start to snowball into an expensive venture.....I'm just a bit envious of the can am maverick's 10"F and 10.5"R suspension in a 50" width.
