I was thinking about sending all my shock (both front and rear) out to Monsterperf for re-valve and service.
I just got this sled last year and don’t have much time on it.
I’m about 230-240lbs geared up and love the moguls.
So……………. I’m just wondering if it’s worth the money to have all the shocks re-valved or just the rear?

I sent my shocks to Schmidt Bros(Michigan) last month. Standard rebuild on the fronts. Skid shocks were both revalved along with a lighter front spring. Obviously haven't had a chance to ride it yet
but just standing on the sled and rocking it around I can already tell it "feels" better. I would say our weights geared up are the same.

I rode a Phazer with Monster revalved shock and it worked very well.

I had Shock-Tek revlalve mine and was very happy. I called about making an adjustment to the center shock (hi-speed damping a bit stiff) and he said he would change it up for free if I shipped it to him. Really happy overall but they are in Canada, and we all know cross-border shipping SUCKS. Free trade my arse.

OK I see what you mean canoe, I worded that awkwardly... Shipping was fine for me, but would be expensive for guys south of the border.
When I talked to Shock-Tek they said the gytr shocks are actually a decent shock, but the valving is out to lunch in their opinion. They also said there only so much to be done with the shocks before you start seeing all the weak points in the rear suspension itself. All seemed like good advice to me and I think any sled I own will get custom valving after the improvement I felt!
