Providing custom shock and suspension services since 2008.
For Carter, understanding suspension started long before Elite Shock Services opened its doors. He grew up around circle-track racing, gaining firsthand experience with how the right shock setup can change the way a vehicle handles and performs. He later brought that experience to QA1, where he worked as a circle-track suspension specialist.
After stepping away from the industry for a time, Carter continued getting calls from racers and vehicle owners who trusted him to solve suspension problems and help with custom projects. He kept doing the work on the side, and the projects kept coming. Eventually, that steady demand became Elite Shock Services, a full-time shop built around the knowledge and service customers were already seeking him out for.

Elite Shock Services has grown beyond its circle-track roots. Today, the shop works on shocks and suspension systems for Ford Raptors, Ram TRXs, UTVs and side-by-sides, snowmobiles, street and drag racing vehicles, and other performance applications.
Customers can bring an entire vehicle to the shop for evaluation, installation and custom work, or ship eligible shocks to us for service. Whether we are rebuilding a worn shock, tuning a suspension for a specific application or helping plan a custom build, we start by understanding the vehicle, how it is used and what the customer wants to improve.
Our recommendations are backed by decades of hands-on experience with shocks, suspension systems and performance vehicles.
Circle-track racing taught us that small suspension adjustments can make a major difference. We apply that same attention to every vehicle we service.
Unlike many shock rebuilders, we can work on the complete vehicle at our Ramsey shop, from evaluation through installation and final setup.
As a distributor for Intercomp Racing, we sell shock dynos and other specialized suspension equipment for race teams, technicians, performance shops and serious enthusiasts.
Customers visit us from throughout Minnesota, while racers and vehicle owners across the country can ship eligible shocks to our shop for service.
We consider your vehicle, current setup, driving conditions and performance goals before recommending a rebuild, replacement or upgrade.
