im thinking on either getting my stock shocks rebuilt or buying aftermarkets i just dont know which i should get for rates ? dual or triple ? which would be the best for mx ? i want something plush to take out the small bumps but still withstand the big jumps. any help and information on both would be great. thanks

We have had the best results from a triple rate setup on the stock LTR shocks. Due to the length of the LTR shocks after our travel mods we gain almost 3 " of wheel travel over stock.

I believe wheel travel is the vertical distance your wheel can travel. A measurement of wheel position from the shock fully extended position, to the shock fully compressed position. This goes the same for front and rear. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I just got my shock conversions in from Race tech and I have to say by the looks of them, they are very well made. Triple rate springs and revalved for $400 is a great price and I will post some pics as soon as I get them on.
