Elka or fox qs3

Yours and all other LE's are 1.5 fronts Pete.
so those are the same size as mine,that you rebuilt,why do they look skinny compared to those you worked on?
 
I just sold my first generation qs3 to make room for my new elka stage 3s.

Im really excited to see how the dual rate springs work and how the stage 4 rear does on the bumps.

I will have the updates soon

Cool,keep us posted brother.
 
I may be selling my front and rear 1.5's off of my 2017 Sidewinder LE if interested? Feel free to PM me if interested?
 
I have an LTX DX and I'm 240 lbs. Shocks were too soft and the spring too light. Took it to Accelerated Technologies in Buckhorn Ontario and had a stiffer torsion spring put on and John set up Elka Stage 3s on the front and stage 4s in the rear. Unbelievable difference, Plush on top but beautifully compliant in the bumps. Made my amazing sled better. Also, in Canada the Elkas are less expensive. To get the same ease of adjustment, you move them 7 clicks at a time which is like moving the Fox 1 click.
 
The qs3rs are good, but I find the 3 settings pretty useless. Mine are only good on setting 2. 1 is too soft, and 3 is too hard.

If youre looking at spending Elka stage 5 money, you should look at some custom Axis shocks, or even the real fox shocks, the factory series not the OEM performance series.
 
Elka stage 5 are not recommended for trail riders. Way to stiff , the stage 4 with dual rate spring is the one if your a tuner. If you like to set and forget the 3 is a good affordable high quality shock
