I dont think it makes much difference.but sounds smart😅

@@GLifeUTV 🤘😎🤘

🙈 close ur eyes and cut

It has been done.. I have personally not done it

Yes it is👍

The one in this video is a super atv. Which broke when we jumped.. also the tinted one is very hard to see it of at night... I run the oem tinted windscreen

They can be flipped. You must swap connections. And at the bottom of the shock. It needs to be rotated 180 degrees. Some have done it without any issues

I love your videos, Frank! I flipped my shocks on my 2021 Smart Shox with no problems. Like you say, you have to rotate the bottom 180 degrees so the wiring will be to the inside. I cut out the plastics to about 1/4-3/8" and could see they were hitting the decal a little bit after some jumps in Stoddard Valley. I have since trimmed it to about 1/8" and went a lot wider with the cut. If you just put the top shock bolt in and lift the bottom of the shock, you can see how wide you have to go. Going to Dumont this weekend and will see if it has enough clearance. Thanks for the videos. I have watched most of them! :)

I just swap my shocks but I keep on getting an smart shox light on my dash, When you said you must swap connectors does that mean I got to remove the sensor from the bottom of the shock and swap them ??? Thanks buddy for the quick reply you will do in about 5 mines lol

Rebound position doesnt really matter. U can literally take a screwdriver and rotat the lower shock eyelet 180 degrees. The shock body does matter and has a left and right. When u flips shocks around u have to swap shocks left to right

Both my slash and udr have regular stock bodies

Yes, I did it to my 2021. Put the top shock bolt in and rotate the bottom 180 degrees so the wire is on the inside.

I just did them this weekend and my Smart shox light is on now

You can do this on ds models. And i dont believe u need to cut the plastics no

If u take a look at the shocks they are clocked at a 6 o clock position to the mounting location.. if u try to flip and install the shock on the same side it will not fit. They will hit towards the rear of the plastics👍

Thanks!

🤙🤙🤙 thanks bro

Every x3 has been able to do this. Not sure what issue u had.. ur welcome to send pics to my IG account if u took any

si para que el choque no golpee el chasis

On a 72in machine u have to trim.. when the suspension fully compresses the shocks move outward and hit

Even if l don't do any jumping or rock crawling??

@@joecaracoglia8513 yea. Its going to hit 100% and break them worse

@@GLifeUTV Thank you.l will trim out.

Will they hit on a 64?

Strictly looks.. nothing changes. No they will not break from flipping

I love being able to see the shocks moving. I think my Shock Therapy limit straps were a better install with them flipped.

@@garyfrankovich3890 true.. looks cool

Your probably gonna have to order one from the dealer bro

Had a 2021 in my posession yesterday.. after looking at it closely. Im sure it can be done but the wiring at the lower shock eyelet normally points inwards. If u flip the shock, i would assume u would have issues correctly reinstalling the wiring on the arm.... Im sure someone will try it soon but i have not and wouldn't recommend it currently

Yes, I did it to my 2021. Put the top shock bolt in and rotate the bottom 180 degrees so the wire is on the inside.

🤙

I have not. But many have . Just disconnect them and turn the lower shock eyelet 180 degrees. Swap from left to right

Yes it can be done aswell

I dont beleive so no

Yes you can do it.. you must swap shocks side to side. As well as the shock connection to the body harness.. the lower shock eyelets must be rotated 180 degrees. It is also recommend to disconnect the battery when doing this on smartshox

Its the bigger 15"

@@GLifeUTV thank you 🙏

posssilby in the future, but basically the only added steps are disconnecting process. then disconnect shocks at chassis harness. when you swap shocks left to right you just have to rotate the lower shock eyelet 180 degrees. and thats it

Do you recommend disconnecting the battery ? Rotating the eyelet would it throw anything off ?

@@luislanderos686 yes disconnect battery. I've done it works perfect

Thank you I’ll give it a shot

Yes, I did it to my 2021. Put the top shock bolt in and rotate the bottom 180 degrees so the wire is on the inside.

Yes. But you must swap over connectors. As well as then the lower shock eyelets 180 degrees. Its recommended to do this with the battery negative cable disconnected

@@GLifeUTV awesome. Thanks again G

@@GLifeUTV one last question, so I’ll be able to just turn the entire eyelet 180 degrees when the shock is of the mount correct?

@@1ttcobra2003 the lower portion of the shock, shaft and eyelet will turn. Just stick a screwdriver in where the bolt is at and turn it 180

@@GLifeUTV 🙏🏼

DM me on instagram or facebook

Use a torch on the nut.. they use alot of threadlocker.. use a breaker bar

A little play?? U mean at the joint. Both upper and lower shock eyelet joint allow the shocks to move or swivel just a bit

@@GLifeUTV Yea Thanks alot !
