Walker Evan's airshocks, blew both of them on the front, Got them repressured up, blew one and put a knick on the shaft. $ 220.00 to replace the shaft. (Brand new a set is $ 550.00). Took my swaybar out and the W.E. can't handle it. Bought a pair of Fox Floats for $ 699.00 - WELL worth it. Also had to rebuild the rear skid W.E. shock, blown seal, another $ 200.00, that's why I think there are junk. I'm scared to even look under the boot of the front rear skid shock as it is also an air/nitrogen shock like the fronts ! I guess I should be happy though, the motor has only been rebuilt once & steering post has only broken twice now.

cheers

Walker Evans Air shocks really aren't that bad of shocks once they are setup correctly.

No air shock is going to perform exactly how you want it to right out of the box, the right setup really helps. I had mine setup by Curt at Fastrax when I bought them from him, and I couldn't be more happy with them. If you are having problems with the shocks after pulling the sway, have them put more air in them it really does help. Walker Evans has a much better needle/valve package setup in the '09 over the '08's, new pressures for them to run, and even thught hey are still a little on the soft side with that setting, it doesn't take much to get a really good shock setup on them.
