okay here's my question I have the alternate impact 36" front end and im looking to get some input on upgrade shocks, I am looking at 16.5" Z Bros triple rate mountain shocks & fox float witj remote reservoirs.

or possibly rebuilding /revalving & shorten to 16.5" the stock X shocks with dual rate springs.

I am leaning towards getting the upgrade shocks, but would like some input from someone that has used the Zbros & fox shocks, I am thinking the fox shocks would be easier to tune on the mountain.

Thanks in advance for your input

I have the same question. Only stock. All I can offer is that I read the a revalve is night and day over a stock shock. I just need a find the right place to work my shocks over. I am not sure that a res. is needed for mountian riding.

Shocks

Yeah me too, I think alot of us are on the fence as what to do with our crappy doo shocks (mine are exta crappy off of an everest). Prob going with zbroz exits x1 all around, have heard nothing but good about them. For $2000 it's a tough decision.

We have been riding zbroz for 3 years best shock i have ever road and there is no tuning on the mountain and if you need to its a turn of a nob or changing the springs a little. With the exits we take you riding lbs. and style when you order and build them to ur style. i had a guide sled that had fox evo on it last year and hated every min on them just wanted my sled with exits. Fox you could not go from pow riding to jumping without needing to change air psi. Exit with the tri rate spring on them will let you do this and have no prob at all. There is a lot of ppl that don’t believe this tell they ride them and they will never ride anything but exit after.

I will give a 10% discount on zbroz products to snowest members

What do the Exit's cost ready to ride with the triple springs on them? 3C why do nearly all of the shocks only have compression adjuster knobs?
