Nytro rear shock

[mdwils]

Anyone ditch the rear springs on a mtx and replace em with a Float shock or similiar on a factory 08 skid? Will it work?
If so, which model of shock.
FYI.. the rear shock on a '10 model mtx has wider eyelets than the 08 mtx so dont try it....trust me I know.....unfortunately

The 2010 is a much better skid. I am installing one on my 09. They are hard to find but guy's are replacing them with KMOD skid's for big boost.

I believe Nextech has a rear shock conversion kit available.

I have a 2010 MTX 162 with the fox floats on the front a rear, and I myself am kind of thinking about going to a sping shock for the rear skid. I find that with a passenger on with me and going through trails with washboard a couple feet apart it seems start "bucking" and its a rough ride. its like the shock compresses and then explodes and bucks. it doesnt really absorb the bump. my buddy has the same kind of machine and has the same problem. i tried setting the psi differently but it still does it. anyone have any ideas of what might cause this?
