Im looking for a aftermarket front skid shock, or has anyone used a shock from a different sled that fits in place??

I had put some aftermarket shocks in my rear skid at one time. The front shock was a Kimpex gold and the rear was Ryde FX (don't remember the series). The 2 shocks together made a HUGE difference in how well that sled rode. I had to mix brands because Ryde did not make the front shock at the time, only the rear. And the Ryde shock was kinda of a PITA because I had to fabricate one of the mounts out of a piece of pvc tubing. But as mentioned they worked fantastic. Not sure if they are still made, that was probably 12 yrs ago. If memory serves the Kimpex shock was also very reasonably priced. Check with Parts Unlimted or Dennis Kirk. Pretty sure they carry both brands.
