The will all pretty much be the same, except for the pro-trax, which is a different design (t-pin)

Jeff, I've been on ARS's site, and its not worth a ****:grr: . Do you know where I can get pricing, and specs? I was talkin to a guy out at the badlands last weekend, and he said the TRX set-up actually uses a 20" shock!!....and im lovin' the ground clearance. Any info would be helpful. Thanks man!

ARS frontend is only designed with axis shocks right now and the package comes as one. $2,400 is about the right price.. IT uses a custom length shock that's why you can't just buy the arms and run another shock with them.:cool:

I knew they were set-up for axis only, thats not a problem:cool: . 2,400 is pretty steep, but they look like quality to me!


BTW, when is that screamin baby due? LMAO....will his first word be "bud" or "dada"? Congrats man!

Does anyone have a picture of this front end. I have never heard of it or seen it. If it is as good as you all say $2400 isn't bad at all with shocks. Have you seen the retail price on the roll lobo II front end with shocks, it is now $2995 plus an extra $125 if you want your uppers chromed add $250 if you want the whole set chromed.

Yea, check out the ground clearance, and the 20" shock! 2,400 will buy you walsh and axis, thats pretty expensive. You can pick up houser for about 2000 ready to go.


Roll design would make a lot more money if they lowered there prices a bit.

Those are kind of weird looking. I like the idea of a 20" shock. What is the travel with those arms? I personally would defintely go with a gull wing design instead such as roll or gibson.

If i did nothing but mx, i would go with gull wing too......this is the ultimate ground clearance a-arms, while stilll offering long travel......if you ride woods or desert, its like a dream.

I would say Laeger, Walsh, Gibson, Houser, Roll, and JB Racing are all very high quality. Those ARSFX are the coolest looking a-arms I've seen. For XC that's the way to go, unless your on a budget.
