Shocks

[majormalfunction]

I have a 94 SpaceGear Super Exceed
I want to do the work myself because the dealers are pricey
What socks should be used?

options??

Procomp is one option from Lordco or others:

not this site, but another, and very informative:

Here is a list of the correct fitment for Pro-Comp shocks on L400's :

Front:

913515 or 913518

914515 or 914518

Any of the above four numbers will fit an L400 and don't worry if the last digit is missing off the shock itself! The last number relates to the pack of fitting parts that are in the box, not the shock itself!

Rear:

With ECS: 924510 or 923510

Without: 924500 or 923500

The way the numbers work are as follows:

The first digit denotes the type of shock i.e. 9 for ES9000

The second, third and fourth digit denote the EXTENDED length of the shock i.e. 235 = 23.5" or 245 = 24.5" but the one inch difference between the ones listed will make no real odds to the motor because the axle will never travel this far, so the bigger number is not really needed! The same with the 135 or 145 of the front shock...as mentioned, ANY of the shocks will fit perfectly, one is not better than the other...

The fifth digit denotes the mounting arrangement i.e. 0 = loop top and loop bottom, 1 = pin/thread top and loop bottom (now you might be able to see the difference between the ECS and non-ECS shocks??)

The sixth digit denotes the mounting kit supplied in the box: 8 or 0 both work for L400's, but I'm not too sure what the difference between each kit actually is! Lets just say that either are fine!!

That's the nugget of info I was looking for!!
Thanks

But apparently there are ECS wires that will conflict with these??

If you have ECS you can tie them out of the way (like I did) or if you want to permanently remove it, just cut the wires. The ECS shocks are expensive to get here...so likely you won't need the ECS.

I found this, might be of use?

Not sure I'd want to cut those wires. At least not without some serious deliberation.
