well Tht challenger 250 is a rough riding son of a gun....
The back end bounces clear off the ground when it hits a cow patty. i got 150 acres to ride on and a few tanks to dodge, but this thing needs better shocks in back. Any body know where to get them???
thanks david

ckeck the lenght with a tape then go to e bay gas shocks are the best but the shocks off a newer yamaha raptor or warrior or honda 400ex will work very nice depending on your lenght since two are needed they will be front shocks.

One thing to measure is the width of the shock saddle. On most 150's it's only a skinny 3/4" wide. I know some of the 250cc buggies expanded that, to better help accommodate for a bigger shock. You might want to take a quick measurement accrost the shocks saddle width to verify.

Also look for shocks off a LTZ250 Suzuki Sport Quad, they measure 12 1/2" for the front and 14 1/2" for the rear shock. Both front and back are adjustable for spring pre-load. The rear shock has a gas resevoir.
