U can rebuild them but b4 you do spend some time adjusting them>I did and love them.They were way to stiff with the stock arms!!!But GT Thunder,C&D and many others offer a sweet rebuild on the stockers!!

just make sure the set of arms you are getting are stardard travel (ST) not long travel (LT) and your fine. i would concider sending the shocks off to be re valved to get a much better rider out of them. if you are looking to save money thats deff the way to go. widening the ride alwase makes it less prone to roll-over and with the shocks revalved it will feel like a whole new front end (in a good way). if you dont already i would go with an extended axle too, that will complete the package. unless you ride tails then i would only get the shocks redone and not buy new arms. plese give more info so we can help you more.

Mine were done by Derisi Racing and along with the new rear link was the best mod I have done to my R so far.

Here's an old pic when I first added my derisi rebuilt shocks, the picture makes the front end look out of shape but its fine.

Go with GT Thunder Laz is AWSOME!!!! Get all three shocks done at once and get the rear linkage not a bad price either. Have them on my '06 best thing you can get for your quad.
GT THUNDER ROCKS!!!!!!
