Best air shock replacement for rear

[Fuelfeen]

Would like to get rid of the air shock in the back of my 2010 M8. Anyone have coil suggestions?

I have the Raptors on my skid both front and back and I like them a lot.
It is very adjustable and the triple rate springs really do make riding a lot more comfortable.
I never do stock anymore on the ski's or skids now after getting a taste to the aftermarket word of suspensions.
There isn't a pro rider out there running stock and if they are its modified/revalved.
Just my opinion.

Elka makes stage 2 track shocks that include rebound adjustment and custom valving. I would give them a call and see what they can do. Reasonably priced major upgrade over the stock air shock.

Raptors are $550. And Elka is $450. Those are pretty pricey. Any other options? Wonder if fox has anything. 'Maybe trade mine in?

Honestly, literally anything is better than the stock float on the back.

Even the coil on the base model ones.


With some revalve work and an air chamber extension, I got mine to work okay but if I were to do it again, I'd just hunt down a zero pro coil from a 2011 base model m.

would a spring shock from a 2012+ M-Series fit?

Brand spanking new ones for a 2011 m8 are like $150 for the damper and spring.
