I've been reading up on alot of posts on shocks. I was curious if the Arctic Cat and Blaster Shocks work on all Buggies or if there is something I need to check on both of them to insure they will work? The Fushin literally beats you to death when riding it. Not sure yet how the Kinroad rides as it is still in pieces around the shop waiting on parts and reassembly. I definitely plan to take them on some rough terrain in the near future and want to insure they are equipped properly. Also feel free to share about weak link issues in the chassis that should be attended to in order to handle rough terrain without major breakage. I've already notice that the shock mounts and rear suspension mounts look as if a little beefing up would go a long way. Thanks again for any insight and help. I'm officially a Buggy Head. I almost forgot should the critical bolts and nuts be upgrade to stronger ones?

Well you need to measure your shocks from eye to eye. The arctics are 18in and work on the fronts of the crossfirw and dunes. The blasters fit the rear of most buggies. If you got struts thats your weak link on the front.

I bought a set of Blaster and put on my hh150. Fronts on front and rears w/gas resv. on rear. there was some modding to the shocks, but nothing the grinder didnt do. :lol:

Here is the link to my post. It doesnt go into detail of the hows and whys, but seriously, all I did is use grinder and use new bushings, which I made. HUGH differance in ride.
