Anyone have any good advice on what to do with the rear suspension on the 93 VMAX? Are there any good after market shocks or any fixes to the stock shocks that would help it ride better? It seems to handle the first bump ok but any bump after that in a stutter situation just gets out of control.

If your just going to race keep the stock suspension. If your going to trail ride switch it out. My first choice would be M-10. Or look around for a pro action. not the best but alot of them out there. alot more info on this topic at Vmax4.com
........................M10 are great sleds abet spendy.
Pol^%$# Xtra10 is cheaper option and a good skid, you can upgrade it with some decnt shocks, i have one under my 1993 vmax4 the difference is night and day. Avoid the Xtra12
