I was pretty amazed at the diference my shocks made when I put them on. You can go a lot faster due to the better handling of the suspension. If you just want to go fast in a straight line, I'd say go for the motor work, but if you ride hard, def get the shocks first. You won't regret it.

All the power in the world is useless if you have to let off the throttle every time you start hitting the bumps and jumps. On most trails in the woods you can carry the front wheels over a lot of the bumps and holes, so that helps, but my quad's frame is proof that going fast with stock shocks isn't a good idea. I've got a nice weld on there to remind myself of that fact.

What are shocks that will do that that arent too expensive. I heard tripple rate Works are cheap but are they any good?

From what everyone has told me the triple rate works are tons better than the stock shocks... I ordered mine without rez's thou because I was told by tons of people that unless you are riding way hard for long periods of time it's not gonna matter. Also you can always upgrade to rez's if needed later.
