I have 12" of travel. Those are quad rate shocks.. Got the front end, because, broken record for those that heard the story, the lower A arm mounts on the left side were drilled wrong. The jig drilled the hole toward the outside of the mount which pushed my lower Arm out which caused the tire to sit "towed" out at the bottom and the other side was straight like it should be. New frame was the solution, till I asked if they would give me Moto Arm since they have adj camber. C-Dale had my answer in a day to give me the Arms, tierods, brake lines and installation... Cheaper then swapping out a frame that's for sure...

Sandgod,

Niiiiiiiice indeed. There's just something I like about the red cannibals with the tires hanging out the sides. BR>
I have been thinking of going with a wider front end but haven't because I would have to change them out between the hare scrambles and motocrosses.

Looks good.

SandGod, how much more travel did the Elka's give you? Thanks, from a former utahan.

They make both types on that you can use existing shocks and one that you need the 19" ones. Elka and Axis both make excellent shocks. I would go with the elka's if it was me. Jeff at the quad shop has package deals on the kits, so if your interested talk to him.

Damn.. That's good sh*t. anyway... hmmm how much do yall think it would cost to change to a moto front end -shocks? or should I just keep the blaze front end for Gncc competiton?? (only 9 inches of travel... want 12 like you sand!!!)

so what would you recommend for shocks? I've heard nothing but good things about Elka and Custom axis... with LT A-arms I'm going to need 19" shocks right? or can I use the Ohlins?
