I know this'll get buried in the comments but God I am SOOOOOO jealous of these guys. I"m in a wheelchair and can't drive a normal car due to having seizures for about the first 16 years of my life so I was black listed by my doctors from driving. I own a old 1994 Yamaha golf cart that I tool around my neighborhood in. It's got a 4" body lift and some off-road tires but it'll NEVER be as cool as what you guys do.
Yes a couple of years back on my 18xpt. For Southern California deserts that's the very first mod I would recommend for any machine. Best $800 ever spent
SXSBlog.com Leo please stop zooming in so much and cropping off the heads of everyone. While you just stand behind the camera all the time please work on your cameraman skills. The rest of the SXS blog crew is learning how to wrench on vehicles. You can work on keeping people in frame. lol like the content just hard to watch sometimes.
Just did the same to my RS1 and it’s outstanding! In my nasty whoop section where I ride I could do about 60-65 before my teeth felt like they were gonna fall out. Now I’m at 75+ and plush. I was in spring manufacturing and understand rates etc. I’ve designed springs for medical to ovens. You’d be amazed at the return. Good work fellas!
Just put springs on the Turbo S. Went up to Manton over the weekend and it was burning right. Everyone in the group was saying it was rough, not sure what they were talking about. Huge improvement.
Had the same thoughts when I put Shock Therapy on my XP1000 4 seat. Absolute best mod and incredible bang for the $ based on how much it changes the ride.
FYI, I have that tool, I bought it for my Shock Therapy spring swap on my 2021 X3. I changed them with that tool (with my teen daughters) in 2.5 hours without removing the shocks from the car.
Great video! On Facebook you always see people say other brands vs shock therapy but the video doesn’t lie. I can’t legitimately say there is a huge difference between the way the machines jump. I’m a believer in shock therapy
I have a few rc's and actually my x-max is my favorite...it can take a ton of abuse and rides over damn near everything, on of the best for all-around use. It's usually the unit I let people play with, especially kids lol.
I sent the shocks from my General 4 down to ST and got the full work up. The best thing ever. Shocks are now one of the first things I will do in terms of mods. They sold me. Setting ride height was a pain. I didn’t have a compressor and had to fight those f’n adjustor rings against spring pressure. Plus the shocks had to come off to make adjustments (front mostly). I could have used that compressor. I think Eastwood has one like that.
Just a tip on that style spring compressor, put the compressor in the vise then the spring in the compressor. That way you can stablize the spring and ratchet at the same time. Makes it easier. Also I would almost guarantee that the instructions say to not use an impact tool, it will gull the threads after extended use.
One of my favorite videos from SxS lately. I will be ordering springs or maybe sending my shocks out soon??? Either way I’m sure I will hit up Rick when I do. Think we need some YXZ vs Beastmode in the parking lot test track!?
That is a shocking difference like you guys were sayin its visibly better can only imagine what it does for ride quality and love the xmaxx footage just got one of my own!
FYI guys, yes, ratchet straps are sketchy, but you can release them slowly a couple notches at a time for anything, not just springs, you don't have to release them all at once, just Google it.
Man, those springs just carry the fupa with ease! Can't believe how quiet the machine was. No more squeaks, clunks ,or chatter?!? Those just got bumped up on the list. Maybe next?
I would advise making the berm turn much wider......it seems like the machines struggle to get through the corners being so tight.....open them up and let her eat
Awesome video as always.This video was perfect timing for me because I am getting ready to put new tenders all the way around my xpt and I ordered the same spring compressor so you just showed me how to use it. Thanks so much. I think you guys need a silver lake trip with all these new springs.Take care and stay safe. Best channel on TH-cam.👍👍
I bought s Shock Therapy spring set. The long springs all bowed, some more than others. They replaced the bad one, after many emails and phone calls. The new one bowed badly as well. I think their supplier has hest treating Issues. Better off going some research and buying from a more reputable source.
I have been here since the early days and one thing is for sure this is one of the best channel on TH-cam content is awesome but leonardo sure has become a bossy sum bitch LOL y'all guys keep them coming
Nice vid guys! Mike u had some good tutorial stuff in there good job. The xmaxx at the end was cool too. I just bought a udr. Rc thing is pretty addictive
I just put Eibachs on mine today, was bottoming out before but thats gone , definitely need to do some adjustments. Ride vid with new set up coming soon.
I love that leo is being a good dude finnaly lol hahaha only joking i knew it was in him all along :)!! You guys r legit love the video and the content please keep it up!

Hey man that’s a start and those are still fun.
You're doing it man! Golf Carts are Hella fun! Keep building it up and enjoying it!
Ride with people that can keep secrets
Way to go dude 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome
“About an inch short”
“Heard that before”
“Oooh, tough break”
😆🤣
That's what she said! 😂🤣😂🤣
Ba dun tss...
The entire time I watched this I was screaming “turn the spring compressor around!”
Anyone else do a spring swap? We couldn't be happier!
Definitely need one for the cf1!
Yes a couple of years back on my 18xpt. For Southern California deserts that's the very first mod I would recommend for any machine. Best $800 ever spent
I did on my honda fourtrax 4x4 1998 it is great form stock

Just got my shock therapy rc2 kit for my general. Hoping to get them on this week!
Always brightens my day up when I see a sxsblog video in my notifications!
Heck yeah dude!!
I really like the bonus footage of Steve's rc car at the end. Every video should have some sort of random shenanigans at the end.
We try to throw in some random buffoonery if we have it lol.
KEEP ON PUSHING FELLOWS WE NEED YOU GUYS
Doin our best, bud!!
You guys inspire me. Such a great bunch of dudes. Doug is literally my spirit animal
Just did the same to my RS1 and it’s outstanding! In my nasty whoop section where I ride I could do about 60-65 before my teeth felt like they were gonna fall out. Now I’m at 75+ and plush. I was in spring manufacturing and understand rates etc. I’ve designed springs for medical to ovens. You’d be amazed at the return. Good work fellas!
We need more of the battlefield turbo s or a new machine that Doug needs to mod or more yxz 😁🤪
Springs, good... Ride Improvement system is NEXT LEVEL.. I can't believe it's taken you guys so long to get into the suspension.
no way Sous already had his whole shocks done up years ago- nothing new around there
Here's the thing.... We are now believers lol.
The smack talk and Doug walk were great. Best episode in recent memory!
Thanks, brother, glad you enjoyed!
Just put springs on the Turbo S. Went up to Manton over the weekend and it was burning right. Everyone in the group was saying it was rough, not sure what they were talking about. Huge improvement.
So happy, I was looking for good content
You guys need to come get shown around southern Utah!
There needs to be a sxsblog.com water truck to water the track to keep dust down and to add traction to the ground
Thanks dudes. Been waiting on a vid all day.
Had the same thoughts when I put Shock Therapy on my XP1000 4 seat. Absolute best mod and incredible bang for the $ based on how much it changes the ride.
Unbelievable it took is so long.
Update subscribed screen, 4 second old video pops up. Win. Thanks for the awesome content!

I live about 5 miles from Shock Therapy and was on the fence...Thx guys.
Do it....today lol. But glad we could push you over the fence lol.
He just holds da camera 🎥 ❤
Love how these you tubers say positive things and promote products they get for free
Here's the thing.... Paid for those.
Shock Therapy is the real deal!! Best in the industry no question.
Thank you for all the time thats gets put in off camera for editing.
Thanks Wade
"Should I worry about the Shock Therapy logo facing out" Well, since you put it on upside down I probably wouldn't worry about it LOL!
I sent the shocks from my General 4 down to ST and got the full work up. The best thing ever. Shocks are now one of the first things I will do in terms of mods. They sold me.

I have never shaken or been as scared as the first set of springs i changed with ratchet straps and the harbor freight specials!
Super nice tool! LOL
Oh dang, the day that you got a real spring compression set
Wow! Got new springs and Leonardo becomes a bulldozer. Phenomenal!
I know best friends when I see them. All kinds of weird tension in that shop 👍
Leo’s favorite saying Your not wrong in every video lol
I saw steves face!!!! Need more Steve and more NX3!
I've been thinking about doing shock therapy springs for a while. Now you guys have me sold
Make sure you get em from us! Save some bucks and support the blog.
Just a tip on that style spring compressor, put the compressor in the vise then the spring in the compressor. That way you can stablize the spring and ratchet at the same time. Makes it easier. Also I would almost guarantee that the instructions say to not use an impact tool, it will gull the threads after extended use.
even better, just do them in the car. No need to remove the whole shock, Plenty of room to do it on the car.
Rick getting shock therapy gold? Full Send!!!
Another good video! I love my X-Maxx. Those things are incredible.
People will pay to see the Leonardo crater!
Much like the 1 in Arizona but a lot closer!
AWESOME VIDEO GENTLEMEN!
Love the nice evening upload!
I’m interested in the bed delete on that unit. Looks way better than what I came up with. Close! But definitely better
Think its a EVO kit, was thinking about doing a DIY
man you really could see the diff between the springs. cheers guys nice work
Glad to see the plush kit can handle a jump as well! I'm a plush riding kind of guy. Awesome!!
One of my favorite videos from SxS lately. I will be ordering springs or maybe sending my shocks out soon??? Either way I’m sure I will hit up Rick when I do. Think we need some YXZ vs Beastmode in the parking lot test track!?
Definitely highly recommended, Rick can get ya set up.
Something like that needs to happen though.
Looks 110 better than b4. Great work!!!!!
The RC car was a nice touch, I love watching you all play at the new shop! Keep up the great vid"s!
That is a shocking difference like you guys were sayin its visibly better can only imagine what it does for ride quality and love the xmaxx footage just got one of my own!

Current pandy or not.... silver lining you’re on board with STORR and hell ya brother! Glad to see the blog approval on the gold juice 🤙
Keep doing what you guys are doing 💯💯
I’ll take some sxs content let’s go!
This was sxs content and important sxs content.
One of the more hilarious videos in the last few weeks. Just straight ROASTING Mike, he's a good sport
Haha its all in fun, if you can't roast your friends, then what's the point of them?? Lol 😉
LOL.... if you have internal work it's another 50% better. I had MTS Off-road full rebuild last year at UTV Takeover at Coos Bay. What a difference !!
nice to see Steve out there
RC jumps are about as close as I get to SXS jumps 🤣👊 I got a Savage XL that I've had a for a few years , good little unit.
Love the videos guys keep up the good content
Leo's squeaking machine is gone LOL thank God for the new shocks👍 great video guys you're really killing it👏✌
Love the RC stuff. Should encorporate more of it!!!
At 28:20 you guys are Rocking! I am so looking forward to upgrade to a Sport SxS…….
Excited to watch you guys Rip at 20:15
Man, those springs just carry the fupa with ease! Can't believe how quiet the machine was. No more squeaks, clunks ,or chatter?!? Those just got bumped up on the list. Maybe next?
We have done our RS1, you too need springs on yours.
I'm so happy that Rick got a hair cut.
not gonna lie, is it me, or does Mike's sxs when it land's sounds exactly like a cartoon bear getting squeezed? LMFAO!
Picking up my first SXS in a few days. 👍 You all are very convincing! 😂🤪
Well I like mike reed. Mike did a great job explaining the process and experience shows. You can just tell who knows what by listening lol
I would advise making the berm turn much wider......it seems like the machines struggle to get through the corners being so tight.....open them up and let her eat
Awesome video as always.This video was perfect timing for me because I am getting ready to put new tenders all the way around my xpt and I ordered the same spring compressor so you just showed me how to use it. Thanks so much. I think you guys need a silver lake trip with all these new springs.Take care and stay safe. Best channel on TH-cam.👍👍
We will be soon as the dunes open up, lots of stuff to test there.
SXSBlog.com can’t wait to watch those videos 👍👍👏👏😁😁
Another great vid, Love watching these guy
So glad that NICK finally drank the Kool-Aid. Shock therapy rocks
The stubbornness is strong.
SXSBlog.com lol we all have it from time to time. 😂
When are you guys going to put the SxS Blog on that red billboard by the track???
Haha, we definitely need to soon
You guys make this stuff look fun!
I bought s Shock Therapy spring set. The long springs all bowed, some more than others. They replaced the bad one, after many emails and phone calls. The new one bowed badly as well. I think their supplier has hest treating Issues. Better off going some research and buying from a more reputable source.
Bring the rc cars next trip to glamis, so much fun just messing around out there.
Not a bad idea!
I have been here since the early days and one thing is for sure this is one of the best channel on TH-cam content is awesome but leonardo sure has become a bossy sum bitch LOL y'all guys keep them coming
I’m glade to see some X3 content
All this dang RZR content lately, had to get the X3'S some love!
New Record time!!! And a new marker to boot!
Nice vid guys! Mike u had some good tutorial stuff in there good job. The xmaxx at the end was cool too. I just bought a udr. Rc thing is pretty addictive
I am laughing my arse off at 7:20!
We all were hahaha
Contrary to popular belief springs can be compressed laying horizontally.
The shock therapy billet pre load collars and crossover rings are super worth it...
SHOCKTHERAPY IS AWESOME. We have a set up for grabs in our giveaway!!! Great video as always guys
I think it's probably time to make a jig so you can lay the shocks down horizontally on the bench and work on them easier and safer
You guys should find a someone with a luxury ripsaw tank and compare it. Drag race, mud bog and tug of war with all your sxs.
All for that.... No idea who even owns one of those things lol
Yeah the howe and howe ones are like 1600 hp 500 grand machines. You could always try getting ahold of ostacruiser and try it with his sherp
It’s just a freaking unit!
Also....... Nick! Get a gusset kit. You want content, there needs to be a good install video of a gusset kit. The people need this content!
I still wouldn’t put my face over it like that while taking the tension off 😂
Mike is gonna do Mike things 😂 lol.
Right to the permafrost! Lol great episode!
Some people say just the eibach Tender springs are a HUGE improvement on the X3?
Anyone try that and have feedback.
I just put Eibachs on mine today, was bottoming out before but thats gone , definitely need to do some adjustments. Ride vid with new set up coming soon.
Guys you gota bulldoze the weeds brush etc right of the big jump landing area and move your burm to the right....
Amazing! Great product!
I love that leo is being a good dude finnaly lol hahaha only joking i knew it was in him all along :)!! You guys r legit love the video and the content please keep it up!
@sxsblog the people want daily vids im hooked
Best I can do is 3 a week.... Insert pawn stars face
well Nick was making sure he marked his territorial jumps like the Wolf of Jumping
Let’s go new vid
Thanks guys!!
You guys need to build a spectator stand or deck out there to watch and film all the ghoulery at the track 👍
Looks so good on the landing
Hahahaha awesome video ! Been debating shock therapy !!!!!
