Like the title says, looking for AM55145 Ski shocks. Also need bushings, and sleeves if available. Aftermarkets are fine..... not a nut and bolt resto, just want to ride it. :sled:

I didn't add it to the store yet, but I actually have new aftermarket shocks that work. I just need to get some spacers to work with them.

Sweet! Let me know when you get it settled and ready for purchase. I will need 4 in the end, but just 2 for this year.....

THANKS MATT!

Matt, you were working on the spacers? Do you have an ETA on that being available in the store? or would you be willing to sell just the shocks? I can get the spacers made.
thanks.

I have not ordered spacers yet, but I just went ahead and added the shocks to the store on their own. There is a hydraulic, and a gas version. They are the two newest items on the main page: http://www.newbreedparts.com. I will stock the hydro, and gas will be special order.

Here are some photos from my shop including a A/B with an original shock, and one bolted on to my plastic ski kit.

Don't mean to hi-jack the post, but what is everybody using for spacers? I just ordered two for a trail fire.
