Hey guys, I am happy with how my bike runs power wise but I am tired of getting beat up on the woops at the dunes. I need some ideas on what I can do so I can rip across them without getting beat up.

I was thinking of just getting my stock shocks re-done by GT Thunder, would this be substantial enough to where I can just fly across the woops and soak up the impact?

Also how much better would a long travel setup be over the stock arms for soaking up the woops?

Can someone like Gt Thunder take a stock shock and make it work with long travel arms?

IMO, for the size the whoops get in the dunes, rebuilds don't cut it.
I have a LT front end and a GTT rear, the rear doesn't cut it on the deep whoops if you are really moving. If u are just cruising it is amazing though, 100 times better then stock. It won't kill u or break ur back anymore but its still really not enough for the deep/fast stuff. The back end will still flop around and pop u once in a while.

Rebuilds might be ok in the front, but not in the rear for me.

I have a rear LT shock and link on its way to me right now.
