Thinking my first mod might be aftermarket shocks either fox or some other brand. Not really looking for a lift but also don't want to loose ride hight due to excessive sagging.

That'll be an expensive first mod huh But well worth it probally

How much do you expect to spend on after market shocks for the Viking? Never really looked into after market shocks for a UTV before.

 

[Teryx2k16]

I've seen them for around $1000 before

depends what brand you go with

ohlins being likely more expensive

 

[Twistedcrawler1]

For what ever brand comes out with some ill do my homework. I would like to see them in action first, but I figure 600 to 1100 if there worth it.

If it was up to me i'd wait for a review but you can always the first on this forum!
It's a costly investment but probably well worth it.

what are you looking at aftermarket suspension for? work, play or a bit of both?

A little bit of both. I like the way stock ride feels but I would like it to have a little more flex to it as well when crawling.

There is significantly more wheel travel to be had both front and rear on this machine. Given your user name, I'm assuming you know how valuable it is. Anything I offer will take advantage of this.

I just saw an add for Fox 2.5 in. $1450/ pair. Yikes!!

 

[Teryx2k16]

yikes!!!! indeed, never understood why those shocks cost so darn much.

 

[Twistedcrawler1]

Ouch that would hurt the wallet

I found the below link and pricing.
$4050. USD. But quite a bit if stuff included. Looks like a major system rebuild to go with Fox System. ..

2008-2011 Yamaha Rhino +6" long travel system (+.5" forward, +1.75" back) with 4340 front axles, 300M rear axles, extended rear brakelines, and non-adjustable FOX piggyback coilover shocks. 14" travel

WOW...no suspension system would be worth 4k to me, ever...lol just my opinion...cool though

I was wondering how much different the Rhino shocks are from the Viking. I out a set of progressive 425 shocks on my rhino for 500 bucks. Best riding Rhino around. Gave me an extra inch of clearance. Couldcridecthe trails in the woods and hardly feel the roots. Hunter Works has some good video on the shocks. Any one know the difference in shocks between the two?
