Title: Polaris ATV
Post by: cur-dog on July 30, 2012, 04:00:33 pm
For you guys with Polaris fourwheelers- If I put a shock coming down from back rack to trailer hitch bracket will it affect the swing arm and the ability of the rear chain to tighten?  Thanks, Brent

I wouldn't put a shock I ran a sold bar down to the hitch.  The weight will push on existing shocks no need for another.  Make sure you turn your rear shocks to the stiffest setting if u haven't already.  I'll send a pic of mine later if u want to see it.

I also put my stock shocks to the stiffest position.  It you put an additional shock or straight bar, it should not be too much of a difference becuase the rear suspension is independent. 

Rather than add an aftermarket type shock like you mentioned, I would look at purchasing stiffere shock from and aftermarket dealer.

I am no mechanic...

I think you can get a bolt up kit to put on it that well stop it from droping when you huck up to a trailer
