Skid shock upgrade
I was considering this to. Priced them out at my dealer!!!???!!! After talking to Curt at FTXmotorsports, I decided to go with with some custom fitted Exit shocks instead(cheaper than the Assault shocks here in Canada). I also go 260 lb geared up to ride. Just something more to think about!

If you dont mind me asking what did the Exit shocks run you for the rear skid?
Shocks
The Assault shocks cost from my local dealer were $1200 + 12% tax. The Exits were $1120 + 7% GST delivered to my door. These are custom valved and front spring to my riding weight and style.

That doesnt make a lot of sense... I priced the entire WE package from Tri-City, Walker needles in the front and re-valved Assualts on the rear.... that totalled... 1200$
The Assault rear shocks are closer in valving to a race sled shock than an RMK/Dragon. They are meant to take the abuse of cornice drops and jumps.

gerrman is north of the border!!! i'm think he is talking CDN dollars!
Cost
You are correct. I should have stated that the prices were in Cdn dollars. Need to divide by 1.10 to give equivalent US dollar cost at the time I bought the shocks(Exits 1120/1.10=1018 less S&H). You guys south of the border usually do much better on the cost of aftermarket upgrades. We really have to do our homework to get our dollars worth. Shipping carriers, Brokerage Fees, Customs duties etc. have to be factored into the cost. Most times it is still cheaper to order form the States than buy from somebody in Canada. Why?

Do you have a PN for this kit?
Shock Kit
I would be interested in the part number as well to get the price north of the border. I am betting dollars to doughnuts that it will be $1000plus Cdn for a kit price or more like $1200plus. OEM parts are very pricey.

Kit price in Cdn dollars
Just priced out the kit on my lunch. $620.00 Cdn. That is a very good deal on those shocks on this side of the border. Polaris did come through with a good deal as a kit package. Individually they are scary expensive.

I bought a set from Carl's new knockoffs for $375, give them a shout they have fronts and rears.
