Shocks - GT Thunder Essential - Any Good for my 06 Raptor 350?

[Satyrisci]

Seller is asking $300. These any good for my 2006 Raptor 350? I ride fast, hard pack trails with mud, rocks, and limbs. Also I jump, like 75ft or so. I'm 160lbs

I havent done a whole lot of shock research yet, I have been upgrading other areas of the quad.

Im not a shock expert, but from reviews Ive read and the # of shocks Ive seen biult by them. As long as they are valve relatively close to your weight they should do relatively good.

GT Thunder is a good brand.

If they are correct length,get em. Good shocks. Better then works.

Are these trail shocks though? or are these motocross shocks? I need trail shocks that i can jump logs with.

Wont matter, I doubt you will ride hard enough to notice.

Low ride height? I dont want lower, will these lower a quad? The trails i ride have deep ruts from 4x4 quads.

GT thunder is top notch!

But what about this "offers low ride height? Im trying to stay high up off the ground for the trails.

They handle great, what they do is actually allow sag and downstroke in your suspension. Plus your ground clearance problems are at the carrier, not ground to frame
