Shocks

[WyoUltra]

Alright, so I went out to my sled to day and unloaded it off the trailer, needless to say when I got off it there was no rebound, if any, from the rear suspension. So I guess it's about time for some shocks, could anybody point me to some decent shocks? I'm only looking to spend about $150 per shock, the cheaper the better, but I'm not looking for a parts unlimited el-cheapo. I looked around online, ebay, first place parts, dennis kirk, spi, parts unlimited, and for some odd reason I can't find any shock for a 2004 700 RMK. I would rebuild it, but unfortunately mines a Vertical Edge, not Escape. So can anybody point me in the right direction to some shocks? I remember Kimpex used to have some silver or golds that fit it.... I'm looking to just bolt them on and go, I don't really have time to rebuild a set of used ones. Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.

I'm not sure if an 02 and 04 are the same, but I got some take off Fox Floats from a M Series Cat that have the same eye to eye length. With that said you can have my originals (pair) for a hundred bucks. When I took them off the sled had ~1100 miles on it.

RydeFX is only listing the 9200 series for the Edge RMK sleds, not the less expensive 8200 series. 9200s retail at nearly $300 each, so you'd be better off looking used at those prices (or Fox floats or at least zero-pros).

I have a 02 rmk 800 and the shocks off an iq rmk will fit in there. In fact i have a set i just puchased off of here and i am not gonna be able to use them(long story) 225 shipped and they have a fresh rebuild on them. Front track shock is a walker evans air shock and the rear is a walker evans also.

Are you saying a set off an M Series for sale, or the Polaris factory 02 ones?

Factory for sale. If you want Floats the cheapest way to go is take offs off of a M Series IMO. Note you will have to modify (slightly) the shock towers to make them work.

It is not the shocks to raise the back end, it is the springs. Polaris has heavy duty rear springs that mount on both sides. They are about 0.42" x 0.42" as I recall. Stock springs are closer to 0.25" square steel.
