Rear suspension issue on my Pro

[Polaris900RMK]

Whenever I hit some jumps I can feel my suspension bottom out. I have already adjusted the shock springs. I am not real crazy. I don't even jump very high. Should I put Assault shocks on it. Or get fox shocks. Or make more adjustments? Any tips or information would be appreciated.

Is your spring cranked up all the way, if it is then maybe polaris has optional springs. Myself I went for the Assault shock and spring on my 2011 Pro 163. I'm not into pumping up my shocks or checking air pressure every couple of rides like with fox floats. The Assault shock is very adjustable, with the spring and with the clicker knob. Reliability is why I went with the Assault shock, it should last forever and when there is a problem or I just need an oil change then my dealer can do it all . If I get a new PRO this shock will definitely go on the new sled. Hope this helps.

Did you just replace the rear shock or both of them on the rear skid?

Just replace the rear sissor shock and spring. I think the front one is fine. I've always had problems with rear shocks bottoming out hard til I got a Vertical escape with the remote res and clicker on it. I set it up and never had problems again, this is why its a much better shock set-up.

Oh okay. Thank you for the info

Same as above

Running the same setup w assault shocks all around. Works better for controlling ski lift with dampening rather than only spring tension. Not as harsh that way.

I have wrecked three of the assault shocks. The all need 600 dollars worth of repairs. There's a snap ring inside that lets go and destroys everything. I'm hard on stuff but these are just garbage shocks IMO

If I was gonna spend any amount of money on shocks, I would get Exits.

Assault shock $350 spring $37.
Must be one heck of a rider to wreck these. You should do some testing for Polaris cause they ride these Assaults off 100ft jumps and wreck nothing. Obviously they need a better testing crew.

Just go to the fat boy polaris spring, I like it much better than the stock spring, just gives you way more adjustment to the heavy side, i'm 6'6" and about 295 dressed and it will not bottom with that spring on

I only weigh 200 dressed. Would that spring be too harsh and ridged?
