get a better ride has anyone else tried this Drove a three seat at the dealer and it seemed to ride better

I would spend that money on Elka's or Walker Evans, much greater improvement for the money. Unless you could trade a 3-seater guy or a non-deluxe 5 seat.

@amc019 What shocks do you have on your ride? If you do have custom shocks, which brand?

Still riding stock for now, it would be one of my last mods to perform on the rig. But with the market as competitive as it is, I doubt I'll have my P1000 long enough before my eye catches something else that I'll have to have instead.

Why ditch the automagically leveling shocks?

I would not change the auto level shocks. I want new ones for the front but I love the auto level.

I all depends on how you use it. If you regularly carry rear passengers or heavy loads, they are great.

im with you dude. the automagically leveling shocks are the way to go. we have a viking which we blew up this weekend, and we had 3 guys in front and about 300 pounds of moose in the back. that thing was at its limit man. a arms were totally level, maybe 8 inches of clearance. unresponsive. ran out of oil, and boom.

if we only had those automagically leveling shocks on the viking.
