Love to see the internal engineering of these shocks. It's amazing to see how much UTVs have progressed in the past 10 years.

I geek out on it too. Love that UTVs are pushing other industries forward. Who would have thought? 🤘🏻
This is really cool! Would love to see one of these videos on external bypass shocks off a truck or Kings or something else different. I could watch Justin explain suspension wizardry all day.
Thanks guys!
awesome to see more options!
Those are sick
HOW DO I ASJUST BUMO STOP.? My ride was diled in, but now my wife has gained a lot of weigh, When pounding hard in the whoopies, I feel my stroke length is now shortend significantly by her rump-stop. How do I get diled in again? You guys are great..

Tuning them was a bit pre mature since there were not enough shock tools to let us take them apart and tune them. Now that we have those tools it has gone great. Killer ride quality and we have sold out of them. Just waiting for another batch.
Love some Rammstein 🤘🏼
STILL fter following you for years and beeing a client from switzerland, i enjoy your chanel, segway hybrid should get inteesting, pro r, and speed ??? finaly your judgmend, new x3 MUST get smashing.....
We would like details of the races you enter
Could you guys compare these to the new fox shocks that are offered for the pro R that came out few months ago? Trying to dial in what I really want to replace my walkers with

The blackhawks have some cool features. But not all of them are tunable by us yet due to parts and tools. At this point the Fox Shock is better when it comes to dialing it in for your needs.

Will they ever make shocks for an r max 1000?
Why do I not get setting instructions with turbo r spring kit? I called in and they gave them to me but I got 2 different answers as to flipping the rear divider or not.

@@jamaster6040 Have you seen the inside of these? It’s nuts how much work goes into making them, let alone the insane amount of design work. This is cheap compared to dirt bike suspension or road car shocks, and those are way simpler inside. Yes, $6k is a lot of money but my god they cost a lot to make.
What do u do if u have ride command and wanted to try these? Do u just leave the plugs unplugged, or would u need bypass plugs to plug into harness so u don't have codes. Or this really hasn't been a thought
@ShockTherapyllc

Ride command is not an issue. Dynamix would be. I would not recommend an shock change if you have an electronic shock package.

@Shock Therapy llc that's what I ment. Most likely someone would probably have to come up with a plug to trick harness like they were still plugged in, if u wanted to run these shocks
Question for y'all, I have a 2019 RZR XP 4 1000, and it's terrible absolutely terrible in the choppy stuff, which is 90% of Michigan's trails. I haven't seen a groomed trail in years, it's so bad that's it has broken my back roof mounts, and other various plastic covers like the factory speaker covers, every place where it bolts to the door is broke. What are my options? How long would it take for me to send you guys my shocks and completely re valve em and do your spring kit. I've done the tender spring kit with little to no change, removed sway bars. No change. It's absolutely awful. And every trail we ride is choppy.

Our shock work is always an appointment system that we turn around same day. So if your scheduled for next month on the 15 th then we need the shocks here the day before and we do the work and mail back to you on the 15 th. Michigan is about a three day UPS. The best thing you can do for chop is full spring kit with shock internals. But you should consider a few more things. Often tire choice creates issues. Too strong a sidewall or square tread can create more or worse chop feeling. Also wheel offset or wheel spacers accentuate this big time. Call the shop and send us pics of your rig. We may be able to help with more than just the shock and springs👍🏼
