Why are you replacing them? Bent or something? Raptor springs are nice without a lot of $$

Another option would be to replace the skid with a takeoff Pro rmk skid. Direct bolt in and it has much better geometry. You can revalve the shocks and still be under or about the same cost as raptors.

I had my local shop do mine this year. But I've heard Andy at http://www.gasshockrepair.com does good work. $30 per shock to revalve them.

Agreed, Mike and crew does great work and does a lot of volunteer work for the local snowmobile club here. He has done all my rear WE air shocks over the years. But like TDragon I am thinking of going to a complete Pro rear skid at some point. If I can find one for reasonable enough price. I would go to a Pro chassis but I can't give up the 860. And I won't lay out the coin for a newer big bore, way too much money for me...
