you want like long travel a arms and costom axis long travel shocks, axis, works, elka, fox, and so on are all good shocks.

laegers, houser, ims roll, and so on all good a arms.


you want long travel so they dont bottom out so easy, i blew by stock ones apart landing a good jump 45ft long and prolly 15 ft in the air, also bent my stock a arms and my diamond j widening kit, now i have elka shocks and wicked products a arms. landed the same jump 100 times since and never had a problem bottoming out.

Is this gonna be for freestyling, or just normal MX rec jumping?

First off you don't need LT arms for jumping, Standard travel arms are just as good and will save you money for shocks. Any shock is good for jumping,Elka,Custom Axis,Motowoz,Stadium,Exit,Works, and IShock just be sure to get them valved for your weight ride style and arm length and you'll have a blast jumping.
