Front track spring

[stgdz]

Currently running a raptor spring and after riding my 800 RR through the ditches I was convinced that front track shock on my tcat was garbage so I grabbed this one, and some other stuff from cats close out sale

12.36-in Front Arm Shock

This 12.36-in Front Arm Shock is a replacement shock used in your vehicle's front arm shock absorber assembly within the rear suspension system.

Since its a canister shock is it advisable to run a double or triple rate spring or will it rub on the canister? I have seen the 160/250 shock mentioned a bunch of times vs the stingray but I don't know if it will hit. Really looking forward to running this next year. Looks like I'm pretty close to having an RR thundercat, minus the rebound. All though I think the only shock that needs a rebound adjustment is that rear most trackshock.

I have to disagree here. If you have a shock with rebound adjustment, you can really dial it in to your liking. I really like to tune the ski shocks with the rebound. It makes a difference.
Shocks are @75% rebound control anyway. The springs control your ride, the shock controls the spring.
There are a lot of people who would argue that if they could only have one adjustment, it would be rebound.

You could look into running the dual spring set up that is on the 2024 9000 RR. That FTS is a QS3-R with dual spring from the factory. It looks like a nice set up.

Any time you can increase travel and have adjustments on both compression and rebound speeds on that travel you can improve your set up on all shocks no matter the application. The single most important thing you can do is your own testing and adjusting for your preference. Too often adjustments are made but do not include any adjustments to the stock internals to the stock shocks that can be improved in most cases to change performance… In my humble opinion a rough trail is exactly that a rough trail and hard to have fun on it for any amount of time compared to a freshly groomed flat trail no matter what shocks you run or sled you ride.. Now some trails are always rough and traffic is crazy busy which is becoming the norm in many areas.. This type of riding is where you need the best shocks you can find … Test / adjust / test replace / test and the beat gpes on and on …. Let us know how that new shock works out and what spring you end up using ?
