Hey everybody, I ride mostly MX and I am like 240#. To day when riding I blew out one of my stock shocks, I decided I can't deal with breaking stuff (just want a bike I can go out a rip it up on) and wanted to upgrade a-arms any way, already got my axle, so please give me some suggestions on what to buy and where to buy it
thanks!

I would defenatly go long travel. sotck travel for MX just gets too harsh after a while. I weigh around 245 and use JB a-arms and fox evol shox. The fox's are nice because you can fully adjust ride hieght and compression and rebound with the air pumps.

i have had mine since christmas 2006 and they are still as soft as when i bought, they work great. I know someone that has been running them for about year and a half now and they still work great, so i dont know what that is all about.

I would get OMI A-arms and elka shocks. The website is omiproducts.com I have the same set up and I love them. You can get the a-arms any color you want and there only 630.00 for everthing! They are sweet. So check them out.

I went to the web site and I couldnt find any prices on the shocks. Would you go +2 or +3 and where did you get the wider axle from. Thanks jimmy,
