I have a 2014 RT-L with the non-adjustable front shocks. Is there an inexpensive way to stiffen them? Dont need much, but I wanna tone down the buck n roll a bit on bumpy roads.
Tried the search here in the forums, but didn't get any result to the queries I tried.
PitBull Power Sports at one time sold shock relocaters that were a simple bolt on that gave you more force from the shocks. Not sure if they are available for the 2014 .
But, I cant find that post. I remember reading something about it when I first started browsing these forums.
But for the life of me, I cant remember where (which discussion) I was when I did see that post.

pm ulflyer. He posted about some rubber spacers that stiffened the springs on his 2014 RT. He had pictures, etc. I think it was $20 or so, but can't find the post now either.

Thanks for all the info. I've gotten my BajaRon swaybar in and will have it installed Tuesday. But I'll also send that PM.

.....They were for PRE 2013 frames and mounted on the top of SHOCK MOUNT......The frames on the 2014 are different ......................Mike
Hi Vossr. I tried these after seeing them on a thread. They cost me about $18. I cut them into quarters and using soapy water, inserted them between the coils in the middle of the shock. Big difference for me (300lb). Try them before buying Elka shocks. Prevents shock collapse the curves. http://www.polarispartshouse.com/oem...-spring-spacer

Vossr, the above is exactly what I did and they work well at little cost and effort. The ones shown are what I bought and you need to cut sections out to insert between the coils. I made mine about an inch to inch and quarter and put four in the lower coils. Used a band saw to cut them but you could do it with a hacksaw...might take a bit of elbow grease tho.
I also had the Ronbar but that wasn't enough to suit me.

I believe both BajaRon and Doc Humphries have the stiffeners for those nonadjustable shocks. They have tested them and found them to work well. The swaybar is a great help in handling as are the relocators. I have them both and installed them about a month apart and both made significant improvement. I do have adjustable shocks however and changed the settings for each...
