I think I priced some long travel ones once, but they were expensive and did n't know of any one using them. What sort of suspension do you have? That will depend what type of shock you need as well as how and where ,(terrain) you drive, and the buggies wieght. I got mine from FOA- (First over all), built in Nevada and custom valved for my buggies wieght. I "E" mailed them, told them I was building a woods buggy, described my suspension and the buggies use. They recomended the valving and spring rates. Cheaper than Fox or King and pretuned for the vehicle. I'm using coil overs all around, duals in the rear. They also build/ sell bump stops, air shocks and by-pass shocks also for less than the name brands.

I've got the rancho 5000's on my buggy. They seem to do a good job so far. I think I gave 52 each for them from o'reillys. I've got the part number at the shop of the ones I got if you want it?

If I was to go with The Racho's it would be the 9000 series. They have compression adjusters on them to fine tune your buggy ride. IMHO there worth the extra Bucks.
