We would love to but lack of time to do so, there is a MASSIVE improvement changing the shocks, + 3" lift + 3" Wheel travel, body roll cut to almost nothing, more wheel travel then a Z-950 sport, amazing 2 stage high and low speed valving, the comparison gap is pretty big.
We have these shocks for the U-Force 500/800 units as well, that will give you a GREAT improvement in ride quality, some additional lift AND wheel travel! For current price and availability give us Tuesday-Saturdays (575) 445-3558 Thank you!
For Shock prices on our Exclusive Hester Edition Elkas, give us a call Tuesday-Saturdays (575) 445-3558 and we can get you current prices. We do not list prices on videos, because prices can and do change, but the video does not, so in 5 years I would have people calling saying "Well your video said $XX much". We would have to constantly edit videos, so giving us a call or message us on facebook we can help you out quickly. Thank you!
No, the shocks are the lift, they are much longer, if you have the bracket as well you will push beyond limits and will damage axles and steering. You gain 2" lift and 3" more wheel travel with our shock package.
No 24" would be too long, they are longer, and remember suspension works on a ratio. You gain 3" more wheel travel (gain up and down) and can gain up to 3" of lift, out of the box is sweet spot at 2" lift.
We have Stage 1's in stock (will be most popular) Price can change from year to year so we don't like to list then 2 years later someone says " I saw it for less" so, Please give us a call Tuesday-Saturdays (575) 445-3558 for full details, OR Message our store on facebook facebook.com/Hestersmotorsports. We have stage 1's coming in and should be shipping out within the next week. Normally the shocks take 10-11 weeks to build this is why we are trying to do our best and keep the most popular in stock for fast shipping. The stage 1's are less then some sets of wheels and tires and is the single biggest upgrade you can ever do. Thank you!
With our HesterEdition set up we are right at 12" wheel travel, +3" over stock. Wheel travel is one thing, the 2 stage high and low speed valving is the magic ticket, plush valving for slow trail, crawling and as speeds increase so does the compression in the 2nd stage. So it's like 2 shocks in 1. Rock crawler and trophy truck. Much better spring rates too so handeling loads is a massive improvement as well, body roll cut WAY down, so you can run no sway bar and it has less body roll with no sway bar then the stock with a sway bar.
We have extensive testing to cover all the U-1000 will be put through, we do modify set up per the situation and weights you plan on carrying. Our Hester Edition line totally changes the build compared to a standard Elka, ours gains the lift and the travel, as well as with the 2 stage valving allows you to drive at any speed. They are a massive upgrade
With our longer shocks and NO lift kit, the shocks can gain UP TO 3" more ground clearance,, we feel 2" is the sweet spot, because when setting up suspension, you want to think "Trophy truck not monster truck". You want to have a good amount of sag and down travel as well as up travel. So this one in the video with 30" tires is sitting at 14" of ground clearance. With stock tires you'll be 13-13.5" area just bolting the hocks up. You gain a vast improvement on how it carries loads, reduces body roll where even without the sway bar, roll less then the stock marshmallows, and with the 3" increase of wheel travel (12" total) gain a LOT of articulation. Check out the "Everything Elka" playlist on our channel to see this vehicle flexing out showing that articulation, pretty epic! AND just yesterday did another one with stage 1's and stock tires.
5 stages available, please give us a call Tuesday-Saturdays (575) 445-3558 to get current prices. You can see 5 stage breakdown here to pick the stage you want most. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zI4xLo7MipQ.html
