    Arrow SHOCK ADAPTER from Independent 4X

    Independent4X has an adapter that allows the use of a standard eye-to-eye mount shock for use with our post-to-eye mounts.

    I wonder if that price is for one shock or a set of four.

    Looks like the last line answers your Q:

    "Pair, includes all grade 8 hardware"

    Yup, so you'd need two pair for the whole set. Independent also carries the Bilstein 7100 for a reasonable price at $189 each. These are considered basic competition shocks and are custom valvable in addition to being fully rebuildable. Essentially the last set of shocks you'd likely ever buy.

    I'm in the market for some new shocks... $189 each huh? Sounds a bit steep, but I want to upgrade from my Rancho 9000x series. Can you suggest a good "in between" model?

    What about dual shocks? Wasn't there a VX out there that had these, maybe that one in Thailand with the custom lift?

    If $189 is to much why would you want to go with dual shocks? Twice as many shocks=twice as much $$$. With the 7100's you will literally never ned to buy another shock due to it wearing out...just have it rebuilt at a fraction of the cost. Unless your racing Baja, doing big jumps or mall cruising do you really need dual shocks?

    If there are only two post-to-eye shocks in the front, wouldnt you then only need one pair? Mine are eye-to-eye in the back, hence no pair needed for the back... Right?
