Anyone have any experience with revalved and resprung 2005 Predator TLD shocks FOX Podium with piggyback rezzies front and Podium X rear. I am questioning weather I should have mine redone for me or to just order new shocks. I can get the shocks redone for ~$200 plus cost of springs. This is front and rear. I know that Natalie runs the same rear shock(set up perfect for him) but I just don't know if the fronts will be as good as say a ELKA or Ohlins. Any ideas? Thanks Josh

Sorry, not much help from me but one of my buddies has a 05 pred with the fox shocks and he replaced them with the fox air shox and loves them.

predator stockers are actually quite good, but if you have the money elkas or axis are going to be much better.

a good shock tuner can turn those stock shocks into something better than what you will get from elka. they will be right u there with elkas w/ say prescision concepts or de risi

thanks bradley300 for the response. I just don't want to waste the rework money if they won't be any better. Anyone else with any experience? Later Josh

As long as they are set up for your weight and type of riding you can't get any better shocks I saw the shocks before and they look pretty nice so just rebuild them

Call Rath Racing, I heard the whole time he was racing for Polaris his Fox shock internals were PEP. He could hook you up.
