I got some long travel and I love them. Very nice shocks that perform well.

they aren't bad shocks but if you really abuse your machine they will tend to fade sooner then some other aftermarket shocks due to the small tubing in the valving. There is not much flow in the shocks and thus less oil can get where it needs to go quickly and tends to overheat sooner then other brands

the rears might be expensive, but the fronts in LT are only $970

and they have all the elka elites adjustments options

atually they fade less then almost all piggy back shocks.. due to the fact that the resevoir is bigger then the others.

I run the works pro g-4's and diffinitally the best shocks I have ever ran. I ran them in the parker 250 and motorcross. they have a larger remote resevoir and duel lines. they reserculate the fluid to keep it cooler. high speed and low speed compression adjustment, dampening, and preload adjustments.

I haven't ran everybrand of shocks but I have ran elka's, custom axis, pep. and have rode other quads with others.

just because the rezzie is bigger doesn't mean anything if the oil passages are too small to properly move the oil around. I have seen the inside of them and it is the same size as elka, pep, and axis. They all use the same diameter for the passages. If the oil can't flow fast enough then it will heat up.

But if the rez's are bigger there is more oil to go around, which means more oil that wasn't hot from being in the shock that can circulate into it and cool it... right?
