Bull 200 Shocks

SevereTrauma · 01-20-2020, 11:31 PM

Has anyone upgraded the front shocks on their Bull 200? I bought a set off of Amazon, 400mm length seemed like it was fine but the width at the top and bottom mounting points were far to narrow. Everyone I have found seem to be 21mm wide but these need to be wider for the Bull it looks like. Picked up a pair for our TForce off Amazon and those were perfect. Not having any luck finding wider ones so far for the Bull.

Just add spacers to make the width correct.

Thanks. I was thinking that but wasn't sure if that would ok to do. It will probably need 3-4 washers on each side but I will give it a shot.

I use spacers on my Rhino, works fine, standard practice. Nylon or aluminum spacers can be used if you want to save weight.

Thanks Mudflap. A few $ at ACE Hardware and it worked perfectly.

Use the bushings out of the stock shocks, Just knock them out with a hammer. That's what I did on mine.

If you have trouble with that rear shock bottoming out check out my thread on the dual shock conversion.

I saw that rear shock conversion, very nice. I haven't done my rear yet just the fronts. Not sure hat I want to do with the rear yet.

Hello All, this is my first day on site so hopefully posting in correct spot. Do you guys have a recommendation on what brand to go with to up grade front and rear shocks on my sons Bull 200? We ride in the woods in NH off maintained trails so very rocky and rooty.

Thank You

I used the RFY got them on ebay about $50.00 a set. Made a big difference on my 125

SevereTrauma · 01-27-2020, 08:28 PM

I installed the RFY also. Got cut from Amazon but they are all over Ebay. I used them this weekend and really liked them. Bought one for the read but it hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks Guys

If you get them let us know how you like them and what you got.

SevereTrauma · 01-28-2020, 08:42 AM

This is what I bought for the rear. They haven't arrived yet.
