Jakster884 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hey Warrior. Do you expect people to take the Official resident Jack a$$ Serious or is this a real question. Stock or Fox. Not sure how it FEELS but I am sure the difference is night and day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOCK SUCKS! nothin good about em ... anything is a good upgrade from those pieces of shiznit! Second.... This depends ....are you keeping your stock a arms? if yes, then the fox are better than the kings(these are known to have issues for rhinos)...IMO if you plan on going to a mid travel kit buy WER's or Elkas now, because they will work great on stock and you can buy your mid travel arms later and your good to go... if you plan on going to long travel eventually ...save your chedder for now and buy the shocks with the kit you want, when you can afford it all together...

Well the rhino i drove had stock arms with 2 " spacers and 2" off set wheels just like mine but with kings on it .The deal is i don't want to fork out the money on the fox shocks if they won't perform as good as the kings. And i'm sure anything is better than the stock ones that thing beat the hell at me on the dc trails . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Mike Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have had the fox's and the Elka's. The fox shocks were better than stock but the Elka's were so much better than the fox's it was ridiculous. I would only get the foxes if you can't afford the Elka's or are getting a really good deal on the fox's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I run a set of Bilsteins on my 06 rhino with 2 1/2 offset wheels. First of all they are like riding in a bmw and they were cheaper than the kings and fox shocks. Bilstein has a great rep and I would suggest you look into them while your looking. Second thing I did to make the ride better was install a set of PRP seats and crow belts. Makes the rhino a comfy ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mush Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 sweet you wont regret it, watch those 2" spacers in the front with having some shock now you will want to hit stuff harder cause the suspension can eat it up, and you can end up bending the front end. you might want to go down to a 1" at max on the front and leave the 2" on the rears.. now the difference between your new shocks and stock will be huge, it's about the same step up again, when switching out for the mid travel arms (lsr).

White Rhino Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 all good advise on the spacers, but we are talking about Warrior07, he could put 8" spacers on and be good as it just sits in his garage ... oh wait he did take it to the dry lake bed once I think Just kidding Pete LOL I have the Elka Elites and it ,made a HUGE difference... I also run 2" all the way around but I don't jump it and so far so good going on 3 years with spacers on sand and in Utah. I don't baby it I just don't jump it (well not on purpose, except when you let Cole borrow it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
