Hey anybody no how good prohressive suspension shocks r cause i'm thinkin about hookin up a set soon 2 my recon

Posted by: ReconRider25

theyre worth the cost. theyre not as good as others but theyre about equal to a set of works except theyre more designed for utility quads and rec riding.

Are you talking about the old Progressive shocks or the ones that they just released?

If your talking about the old style with out rezzy then don't bother. They aren't as good as stock.

So Progressive came out with 1s with rezzys i checked out thier site and didn't c any shocks with rezzys and the only shock that i noticed that had rezzys were the 5th element mountain bike shocks and besides the 512s r gas shocks with 5 way adjustable preload (Recons or 250EXs u can't adjust them). Besides its pretty hard 2 find shocks 4 a Recon that come with rezzys Thanx 4 the tip Jeff.
Oh there use 2 be an old table top jump by the local Michelin Tire Plant that was 35ft long and I took a 200ft-400ft run off 2 pretty much clear it now it was flattened and just became part of a trail and no longer exists.
And I no dawnchris its pretty hard 2 belive a ute would jump somethin that big there was a guy on a t-wolf who now has a raptor who cleared it and a guy on a rancher who did 2.
Some of us guys in N.S. treat our utes as if they were sport quads lol.
