then your rear suspension would be much smoother, and not buck like stock suspension does. But what do 18" tires have to do with it :confused:

must have something to do with the ride height, if GT thunder specifies 20" tires then I doubt it will work correctly with 18"s because he is very precise on his setups

There are 2 linkages available for this bike. One for 18" rear and one for 20" rear tires. You will NOT be dissapointed with this linkage and revalve. Corrects the compressed and extended lengths and gives a LOT better progression rate. It will lower the seat height about 2".

If you get the rear done first and still have the front shocks, will it throw everything off due to the ride height? I'm sure its best to get all them done at once, but I was thinking about saving more cash to get new fronts all together.

One of the questions Laz askes on his worksheet is your tire size. This is critical if you want to have your rear suspension set up correct.

If you are having your rear shock done, follow the worksheet and other directions you get from GT thunder.

I just had my bike finished and right now my quad is awsome on the landings.

He used a stock spring on mine, But it depends on the setup.
