Re: Best replacement shock

For stock replacement shocks WER (Walker Evans Racing) is probably the best.  King stock replacement shocks also ride very very nice, but are not adjustable.  Bilsteins are also good, but are not adjustable either.   

All of the stock replacement shocks are still limited by only having 7" of suspension travel though.  You can get twice that suspension travel with one of the long travel kits, and they handle the big stuff far far better than the stock replacement shocks will. 

I have the long travel Elka's, and with 15" of suspension travel I think they are worth getting.  Elka shocks are as good as any, but expensive if you get the adjustability features.  I personally would not spend the money for fully adjustable Elka's without increasing suspension travel with a long travel set-up.  Depends on what you want to do with your Rhino.

Re: Best replacement shock

Cherry Creek; ... also known as whoop-ville USA.  Yup, better suspension really helps out there.  Here is where I went this weekend, ... not a whoop in site.  Nothing else in site either though, LOL.  It's my secret Rhino test facility 12 miles west of Cedar City.

Re: Best replacement shock

I'm running stock suspension with Walker Evans shocks. They make a night and day difference in the whoops and jumping...

Re: Best replacement shock

Elka would be my first choice.
