Shocks

Upgrade your rear shock to something off another quad like a 400ex or something like that you would have to make your own bushings or someone on here sells ones for it but i don't remember the name so hopefully someone will comment that knows his name lol
if your bottoming the extremely stiff stock shocks, they must be blown
how much do you weigh ????
a 400ex shock and bushings from oconnor racing will be a huge upgrade, but bottoming is not limited to the rear shock, could be the fronts also, used "works performance" fronts is the first thing i do to any blaster i've owned

Definately grab a good used 400ex rear shock and some Ken O Connor bushings. You can get one for less than $ 50.00 on a good ebay day.
Like AWK said, used Works front shocks are a nice upgrade over stock and won't break the bank. If you have $$ to spend, custom Works or Elka shocks are nice but pricey. I'm not that heavy, either, at only 170 lbs, but I love my Works front shocks. I used to hit a bump and would feel it pretty good. Now, with the Works, its "what bump!?" Lol.

For the rear if you wanting cheaper i have herd that a atc 250r shock works well but only a few certain years becuase the newer ones are longer? might look it up but they could be had for 20$
like said above ^^^^^ the 400ex rear with the o'connor bushings is a good bang for the buck option. I went this route and couldn't be happier.
There's no bang for the buck when it comes to front shocks and you get what you pay for.......and your body pays for what you get. So pay the $ once and get some Works fronts fit to your weight and riding style. You'll understand what we're all talking about immediatly on your first ride after install.
Good luck!
