is there ant diffrerence in the 06/07 front shocks compared to the 04/05 shocks? i thought i read in dirt wheels that they said the new shocks were way stiffer and that they weighed less, is this true?

04/05 shocks and 06/07 shocks are very different. The earlier model shocks are much softer and smoother compared to the newer model's shocks which are very hard and uncomfortable.

is anybody running the stock 07 shocks with plus 2 arms? cause im using my 04's and i have them set full stiff and the preload is adjusted all the way down and it still is way too soft.

I had my 06 shocks on +2 arms and they were way soft for what i do, but i am 220 and 6,2 so i got the Gt Thunder rebuild and now they are great.

yeah see you got like 75lb's on me so i dont know if that would make a difference.

+2's with the 06+ shocks would probably be a pretty decent combo for you.

thats what i was thinking, cause i ride mx but im not that heavy so i just need a little stiffer than what i got now, and i dont wanna go and get revalves if i can just use the 06/07 for like half the cost. plus i might send mine out after i get some 06/07's
