I have a full set of 1000-5 shocks for barter... I always felt like the self levelers worked pretty well... not sure what @joeymt33 is going on about... o_O

Damn, I'm going to have to put them back on and test. Maybe the white one needs these auto leveling shocks....if they work.

I don't think I could live without any of them at this point... I seriously doubt that @joeymt33 will be able to give up those WE either...
Haha, what're ya letting those stockers go for?

I'm going to hold out and go the new fox shock route.. I like the ease of having preset adjustments and the simplicity of using it. They may not be worth a s***.. but @ $850 a pair and 20% off that from my dealer.. I'm just going to have to give it a go.

My current dissatisfaction with the auto leveling shocks could be because I have been testing these Walker Evans.

It was super easy to crank them up and before I went on the ride. I knew I would have a lot of weight in the back.

While on the ride, it was easy to fine tune the compression by turning the knob. I loved it a lot better vs the previous rides with oem rear shocks.

@ohanacreek, what do you think about the WE shocks after Friday's ride? Specifically the rear shocks?

I know we stared off too soft and then turned them up a couple times when we stopped and it was great.

Fronts were good considering it was 3 up in the front seat. No kidney jarring impacts or hitting bump stops. Nice smooth ride.

Rear seemed soft at first but firmed up some with the adjustments, I think with more evenly distributed rider weight and some setting adjustments, aggressive riding ride quality would be in near sport sxs territory. (Not 1000 turbo super git-it 24" travel, BUT every other sport sxs)

You were driving more aggressively than MOST people would( @scott I'm looking at you) and suspension never bottomed out.

I'll be ordering my 17 shortly and if not factory fox then definitely WE or Elka.

well, old Pete was such a good boy this year that Santa brought him some Stage 5 Elkas all the way around... :D
That's what I'm going to order, but had to replace the Cedar siding on our house and repaint house, wish we had a small home. How do you have them set and are you still running the sway bar?
