Blew both my rear shocks yesterday, '21 800xc.  Seeing posts about our shocks doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.  I expect the shocks will be replaced under warranty but I'd really like to start making them better for me.  Does anyone have a great suspension shop that is good with the stuff on our ATV's?  Next, if I had the money I'd upgrade to elka, but I do not.  I spent hours looking online for info today and virtually nothing is out there for info....are there shocks from any other manufacturers machine that fit??  Anyone have the exact specs for our shocks?  I measured it at 21 1/8" extended...but have seen at least 2 others claim to be 22" extended...what is the compressed length?  Spring rate? Etc...?

Well...have you had a chance to test it out?  I blew both my rear shocks yesterday...finding very little aftermarket support...I'd love to upgrade to elka but out of my price range...my next thought is if any other manufacturers shocks may fit out xc's?
