My Dragon is sagging pretty bad in the back, the shock needs to be recharged and I am wondering what everyone else did.( recharge shock, recharge shoch and heavier springs, throw walker evans in the trash get new shock only, or new shock and heavier spring ) I know everyone has had this issue a little input would be helpfull :beer::d:beer::d

get the "fat boy" spring kit for it and you will be golden, the original springs were too soft and bagged out quick

Do the Zbros exit shocks bolt right on? I was told by Mountain Magic that they couldn't find a replacement shock that worked good. I thought that was a bit strange considering all the aftermarket products out there. I replaced the rear Walker Evans with the Ride FX that they use on the RMK. I now need to get heavier springs but I won't be going back to the Walker Evans. I already had the oil replaced with a heavier viscosity oil, but lasted about 500 miles then was bagged again. I assume that the nitrogen is gone, but I'm not going to replace it as it'll probably just leak out again.

First go with new springs, when they are installing the springs get them to check the shock cell. Everyone says they are weak, but just remember how long that sled is, there is a fair amount of wait sitting on those 2 springs and single shock.
