brought the Ody on a ride to AZ this week, got a chance to ride the hayasampa river bed area lots of flats and good short hills to test on. great time had, but how is everyone setting up there stock shocks on these things???
The only thing I couldn't get dialed were the whoops in the trails the back end would get alittle carried away and bounce would fell like 8 to 12 inches off the ground..
I know works shocks are the bomb, but I need to finish paying off the peterbilt first...
I see stoneman has some progressive shocks on e-bay. Any reviews on them???

Not much your going to do with the stock rears.

You talking about these Item number: 330025920398

They suck not much better than stock, they are already over priced, save your money and buy the works!

Have any riding pics to share?

I HIGHLY agree with Hoser. The Works shocks are so much better and are a great investment in a 350. The progressive arent much better and you cannnot feel a difference.

I believe livewire was talking about Pilot rears. I bought my 350 rears directly from Works and they were set up good.

how much are works, 350 per pair? spend 430 and buy some fox airs, then you can adjust them yourself, i believe the cheap works are non adjustable, you have to send them in to get anything done...

They seem to have the 350's figured out its the Pilots that they are off a mile on the setup, if you get Pilot shocks you call and tell them you want the Lightspeed setup they will look at his settings (file) and go from their then you will get shocks that are setup correctly.

For the best price I would search ebay for WORKS and see who is giving the best price for other applications then contact them and get their best price, maybe even ask if they can "beat this price"

I saw some video on another site of an ody landing off a 3 foot jump and not bouncing... That is what I want, so I guess the works will be thew ones. Fox adjustables might be good, but I wouldn't know where to begin adjusting???

Stick with the works they work, you can get them with adjustability if you like Lightspeed can give you some info here.
