ive got about $1100 in my front end, used am star a arms and new PEP ZPS shocks and about $650 in my rear end with a new lone star axle and a used PEP ZPS shock in rear. it aint cheap at all
also you can find a good triple rate in std travel. the answer is PEP. i dont know if AXIS is better then PEP or PEP better then AXIS but i do really believe that triple rate is better then dual rate no matter what you ride.
I personally like PEP becuase if it takes 3 months to get them becuase your on a waiting list they must be good. Wayne Mooradin builds every set of shocks custom and takes his time and also used very high quality products. and alot of pros use them and they are the same exact shocks while i think that the AXIS the pros use cost them a sh*tload more then they cost you. also, the PEPS are much cheaper. by over $200! that did it for me right there.
