I am having a problem with our gators at work. We have 4 2007 850d's we haul alot of scrap metal with the and keep blowing out our shocks fronts an rears. I need to find a good replacment for them at 160 a piece and changing them out every other week is getting old does anyone have a good aftermarket shock

Do a search on here for shocks and springs. Somebody changed out their shocks and springs and said it made a lot of difference with hauling heavy loads. I say springs also because I believe the springs on the (825i atleast) Gators are only rated for 600lbs.

This is a project I am planning on doing this year because I use my Gator to haul corn for our deer feeders and have noticed my shocks are shot. It takes 8000lbs. to fill all our feeders and I like making as few trips as necessary.

Just a question. Are the springs adjusted all the way up to take some of the pressure off the shocks? The 825i and 855d have adjustable springs. You should have got the tool with the owners manual.
