1998 Polaris Trailblazer rear shock mod/upgrade help


Flanny15

Recommended Posts

I would like to modify the rear shock on my 1998 polaris trailblazer to raise the rear end to help make it somewhat level with the front.  The rear end really sags, which I am guessing is due to the shock spring.  The spring isn't broke though.  I have seen others insert spacers on their springs to do what I am looking for, but I haven't found information on my specific wheeler.  Does anyone know if this is possible, or have information on this?  Or can you help me find information on a stiffer spring, or possible an entire shock that might be an upgrade, but not break the bank?  

Thanks,

Yeah that looks adjustable but it looks like you don't have anywhere to go to get it tighter. This is probably why people have tried to shim it. I would look online for a performance spring/shock assembly or even a new stock spring. The spring is probably weak if its sagging.

I am worried about getting a "used" spring, and it being weak like mine seems to be.  

And I am having troubles finding a new one, which is why I was looking for other options.

I also heard that the scrambler shocks will fit on trailblazers, does anyone know about this?

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      I have a 97 Yamaha Timberwolf and it is beyond loud, is there any good options to silence them or at least make them bare able to drive. I know it has a crack in the exhaust pipe, but even with that fixed its still loud.
