you can spend anywhere from 550 to 1300 on front elka shocks, and the amount of travel will depend on the width of the a-arms. if you ride on wide open stuff, i would say get a-arms that bring the total front width to 50 inches. this is the widest a race quad can be, so if you ever want to try a race, your not too wide.

what quad to you have?
