My brother raced with Rob Hurts from PA for years. They are really good friends, and Rob was running Pro/Pro Am at GNCCs. He will swear by ARSFX/Axis. In fact my bro runs ARSFX's MX setup front and rear, and it works really well. I would say spend the money and do it right with them!

If you are gonna run that ARS-FX set-up, run them with their shocks. Exit shocks.

Standard or LT???? Thats pretty much your choice. Your gonna have more options with LT setup.

I'm not a big fan of Elka shocks. I will rate them right there with Works shocks. Then again......... you can take any shock to a good shock re-builder and he/she will work magic. IMO

I run houser slicast and axis shocks. It works great. Ive been wanting to try out teixeira setup front and rear. Ive heard great things about there set up.

i think ars fx only makes long travel anyway..

i seen some of texieira stuff pretty sick.

i just want something better then stock. thats what i have now..im running up front but not contending for wins yet..i think if i get some suspension i would be alot better and probably save me some arm pump

I love my Teixeira/Fox setup! Give Ed a call, he has some good package deals.

LT setup is going to be more dollars, so if money's an issue, stick with ST. also, depends on your skill/speed. you aren't going to notice a big difference between LT or ST if you don't utilize the LT. also, there are some good companies out there that can revalve your stock suspension for a reasonable price and make it work awesome. there's a few guys that run pro-am gncc that still run stock revalves, so that tells you how good they set them up

I would stay away from Roll Design a-arms for XC. They use heims instead of balljoints, which will wear quicker because of mud and debris getting in them.
