I was wandering could I change the rear shock off of my quad with a rear shock from another quad? If so what could i swap it out with?
anything that is the same eye to eye length, but its going to be sprung and valved for the quad you got it from not your lt.
he is asking about the rear, not front.
look into a z400 rear shock, might work.
z400 rear shocks only work on the 91+style swing arms. it wont even work on my 90. the 85-86 are very limited. and I do not believe there are any to fit that style. I ended up getting my stock one rebuilt. I would recommend doing the same. If your going to put forth the effort into swapping a shock you might as well also change out that weak 85-86 swing arm if you have not done so already.
What swing arm options are there for the 85' & 86'? All I know of is Lone star. I don't mean to hijack your thread but I think the info I'm asking about could benefit you and me since my stock 86' swinger has hairline cracks in it and I'm in need of a new swinger.
