Corndiddly5885 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I was wondering if i get +3+1 arms would +2 works shocks fit on there or no? Quote
desertdeweller Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) yes they will, the mounting points are the same. The only thing is since you changed your leverage ratio you might have to get them resprung or valved. Your best bet is to just try it out to see if you want to change them or not. you may find them to be to soft depending on how you ride, they also maybe fine for you. I did a similar change to mine before. I actually liked the ride better when I had the +3 arms on it with the shocks that were set up for the +2 Edited February 13, 2009 by desertdeweller Quote

Corndiddly5885 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 I agree, I like the elkas better.. Jmo well i would get elkas but i want to get new a-arms and shocks at the same time and elkas just cost to much for me. well wats the cheapest pair of elkas? Quote
Corndiddly5885 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 Alright thanks. one more ? you its better to spent the extra money and get the piggybacks? Quote
BlntdEyez Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Alright thanks. one more ? you its better to spent the extra money and get the piggybacks? It depends on how hard you ride. The piggy help with the shock fading from heat. You can buy those elkas's I posted and then later if you think you need the piggy's you can add them later. Quote

Yea the more bumps you hit, And the more the oil compresses and uncompresses cause the oil to heat up and the shock to fade. The piggybacks hold more oil therefore are less likely to fade. Quote

BlntdEyez Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 u would have to ship the shocks back to elka to have the piggybacks added. Its prolly better to just go ahead and get the piggybacks now Quote
Corndiddly5885 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 So it would be cheaper just to get them right away? Do u know how much it cost to get them added on later on? Quote
