If they are the silver ones that have a sticker on them that sez HPG Racing, then yes. Also the front shocks have a threaded nut that adjust spring preload.

If the top of the shock body unscrews where the piston of shaft enters the shock body then yes.But I definately wouldnt take your shocks to the dealer you just went to.Take them to someone that is a little more knowledgeable about sleds.Just cant belive your dealer couldnt answer that.Id take my business elsewhere.Thats my $.02

Call Fett Bros Performance 218-334-3388, they're awesome. They offer what they call a Ride Tech rebuild service. Starts at $116/ set of four. They can answer your question about anything shocks, but the last post is correct, if it looks like the end of the shock that the shaft sticks out of is a nut or cap that unscrews it's rebuilable also look at the other end of the shock for a nut w/ a flat head srew in it, if none of these things are evident they are not rebuildable. DO NOT ENSCREW ANY OF THE FORE MENTIONED ITEMS!!! That would be common sense I hope, they are under HIGH pressure. Sounds to me like they're the standards cheapy shocks though...not rebuildable.

Ya I love those guys. They are a international buisness and they answer the phone and talk to you like they know you. I got a awesome crank exchange price from them so I got loyal. Its funny because I keep using the same box to send everything to them and they send it back. I live semi-near Pioneer Performance and they just won't work w/ me (not enough tuning forks on my rig I guess) Bender is closeer still and he is all Yama, now he sold the name and closed the shop to support his kid's Polaris ride so all the reputable places are gone or piano mechanics. I couldn't find any other local shops that would do the Doo. Frazee is not that bad for shipping... never over $15 and turn-arround is decent.
