My first thought was JD performance, but I will look at the walsh, What about rear shock, long travel back there as well worth the money?

to be honest, yes long travel is worth the money IF you race. If your just riding around the back yard then a Recreational(sp?) shock will be fine.

Yes its definately worth it> but like nacs said if u are just gonna be putting around (rec riding) elka makes a shock just for that. But if u hit decent size jumps and race its well worth it.

The new Rated X Motorsports LT arms are the best bang for the buck I've seen yet.

Yeah, we might be using one of those rate-x motorsports front ends for this years BAJA 1000.

yeah I have raced Baja before. And you will be better off if you go with a LT front compared compared to a Std front end. If you have any questions let me know.

Hey Jeff, are you going to be carrying these?

Also, do you know if they make a LT setup for the Raptor? :D

You might also want to check out Epic Suspension through Golden West or Alba.

A number of top desert racers use them with great success.

Ohlins, Elka and Precision Concepts all recomend them.

For more info look up user: socallen in the forums or user: PC-AW for more info.
