This complete front and rear 4-shock package is our go-to recommendation for a huge range of UTVs because it rides smooth, stays controlled, and gives aggressive recreational drivers the external adjustments they actually need for real-world terrain conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStage 4 is the sweet spot for drivers who can outdrive Stage 1 or Stage 2 but do not need the full race-focused Stage 5 package. It stays comfortable over chop, roots, rocks, ruts, and washboard roads, but has the oil capacity, reservoir performance, rebound control, and low-speed compression damping needed to keep the vehicle composed when loaded down, driven hard, or pushed with a heavy right foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Elka package sold by iShock is rider-specific. After purchase, our team works directly with you to confirm vehicle configuration, load setup, accessories, terrain type, riding style, and tire setup so the suspension is tailored to how the machine is actually used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e
