Im sure a lot will say fox/Walsh not sure what ur looking to spend, and I never been a fan of fox stuff I don't le having to fool with air pressures and everything that u have to deal with on those. I've heard a lot of people praise the new elka stage 5's and they look cool, u wont beat elkas customer service either.

If I was to buy a front end I would run pep/houser or the elka stage 5's with the same arms. Houser has good customer service as well and really fast shipping if u ever need back up parts or anything else.

For what you do you need a good rear end. I am not sure that you can acheive something good with a 2005 swingarm , if you can find a used 06+ swingarm it is a good start. texeira tech and LSR makes good linkages for them. If you want a whole rear end look into www.six5design.com , I use that with a Stadium shock and its been awesome , very pleased with this setup and I heard great things about the same swingarm and linkage but with a Stage 5 Elka shock.

Jet suspension. Have them revalve your rear with a gt link. Probably the best bang for your buck. For the front end I run the stock modded long travel shocks with arsfx a arms and has handled better than my elka stage 3s by a long shot. Don't overlook stock rebuild. You won't be disappointed. Oh and customer service tops it all off.
