Re: RINCON REAR SHOCKS I do believe the aftermarket shock makers can make up a set for you, but they will be VERY expensive. Like $400-500 each.
I used to bottom out the front in holes and ditches when fully loaded and riding at speed. I put the HighLifter springs on the front only, and they did help. It no longer bottoms out. So I would bet they you help you as well. _________________ Ride Red or Stay Home '03 Rincon w/mods '03 Rancher TM w/ mods 'The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government' - Thomas Jefferson |

Re: RINCON REAR SHOCKS One of the riders up here is a big guy as well. He put the Highlifter HD springs on his Polaris and the A-arms now have a positive arch instead of a negative arch. Meaning the center of the quad is now higher than the outside of the A-arms, where before it was lower.
Not sure what will happen with the Rincon, but you might also want to consider a preload lift like the Rubberdown if the Highlifter springs aren't enough. Although with the two products combined, the ride might get rougher. Greg _________________ In Quads we trust! http://quads.ca http://crimeland.ca http://bctrucker.com |

Re: RINCON REAR SHOCKS If cash is not an problem, get some sweet Elka adjustable shocks but if it is a concern, get the HL springs. I run an 05 Rincon and i am 300+ and the HL springs are awesome.
