Yey !! Will be 4 of us soon .
Good move, on Rhino forums about suspension upgrade all guys confirm to change front shocks first then rear if not 100% happy , but majority do front first.

The suspension is really the only thing the p500 is missing IMO. If this is as good as jak & chris says it is , it will be well worth the time and money !

I saw ups notification, will get them next Wednesday, but will install them in mid November or after hunting .

@chrisC have you thought about moving the Honda upgrade shocks COHV 3-2013 to the rear , to see if it would improve the ride ? I realize you would most likely lose some load capacity but it mite be worth trying !

the fronts are very easy taking your time it will only take 2 hrs max i just did one in about 30 mins

I agree ,it took me about 2 hours....being very careful ,step by step.
Doing it a second time would be much less !

Are you guys going to to do video tutorial?? youtube??? You can use mine P500 for this video .

Jak or Chris, just pack your suitcases , tell your wives that : " honey we are going to Yellowstone or Glacier park MT for sightseeing " and bring your family

Chris, did you changed preload on front WE? I see there is rotating nut on the top end of the spring. If I understand this shock correctly , the knob on the reservoir controls dumping? and the nut over spring the preload?

Just holding them in my hand gives me that 5 yo excitement feeling.
