nater006 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 My rear shock is pretty crappy. Its a '96 and the shock has never been rebuilt or anything (just purchased the quad). I'm a 210lb 6'0" person and it really sucks. My front shocks are Works and are really nice, but the rear stock one is just uck! It definitely needs a rebuild or something. Anyway... whats the best solution to get a decent rear shock in the rear of this? I don't race or anything but thoroughly enjoy jumping. Not sure if I should invest in a super rebuild kit or a replacement stock shock or a used aftermarket shock or what. Not looking to spend $500+ on it, hopefully just a couple hundred at most. Rebuilt my Tecate-4 shock a bunch of years back and it wasn't a problem. Didn't even need a tool to compress the spring or anything. Didn't change any valving or anything since it wasn't crucial to have an exactly dialed-in shock but it was good to have something underneath for the occasional jump. Suggestions? Part numbers and prices are excellent too if someone has any of those lying around... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Call Todd Davis at TCS (Total Conttrol Suspension) he can completley re-build, re-valve, re-spring your rear shock for about 1/2 the price of the cheapest replacemant after-market rear shocks. He's a good guy, easy to deal with and does great work. (909) 245-7484. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Aha! I've seen TCS stickers on peoples shocks before but never knew what it was. So it sounds like its about a $200-250 service to have this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Depends upon what you have done, call Todd and discuss your wants / needs, this will dictate pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
