Rhino 250 Rear Shock Question

justin1328 · 03-07-2020, 06:00 PM

So, I am attempting to upgrade the rear shock on my 2019 Rhino 250. I didn't find much on this forum in the way of exact sizing for the rear, so I used the specs listed on whygostock.com and they have the rear listed as 340mm for the Rhino rear and 375 for the front. I ordered RFY, 340 rear and 375 fronts. Well the 340's arrived today..... What am I missing here? totally lost. About 1 1/2 to 2 inches off..... Cant wait to see the difference when I receive the fronts tomorrow..

. Anyone know the exact sizes for the front and rear? And thank you as always, for your help gentlemen....

I used 375mm front and 400mm rear.

Thank you Mudflap! I guess I should have just asked first. Kind of annoyed that Whygostock had such incorrect measuements....

Word of caution to other Rhino members looking to upgrade their shocks..... WGS is way off on the rear specs..... I know they state that there have been varations over the years, but this is wayyyy off.

Mudflap, are you running your fronts on the top or bottom mounting hole?

Mudflap · 03-07-2020, 07:03 PM

Bottom hole, just like the stock ones.

Mudflap, Thanks again. Funny mine came from the factory with the fronts mounted to the top hole. Not that I expect any consistency from Chinese manufacturers.... Production date for mine was 10/2019. Pointing this out in hopes this helps someone else out down the road.

Send it back and just measure your stock shocks. If that back one is to soft and bottoms out watch my video on the duel shock conversion. Its easy and works like a champ.

The 400mm's were perfect. Thank you. I will post pics soon

Justin1328, I am glad you posted this. I was going to order the shocks with the WGS specs also but waited to see what color Rhino I got. I would have made the same mistake. Thank you again, you saved me! Have you done the dual set up or is the one fine for the rear?
