I have been using the g-force axle for a full season and have no complaints about it at all. Alf44 can get the axle for you for much cheaper aswell. Quote
Crazyatvspazz Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 well i def think iam wanting elka shocks. now i need to figure out the a-arms. I want something thats not going to hinder me in the woods but will add stability on those open logging roads... i need a good balance of stability and width, to try and accommodate the riding i do. thats where iam having trouble...

I havn't really noticed a big difference with the +2 arms in the woods. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of going to a +3 LT setup. Quote

rubberneck Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Those look like yfz450 arms and shocks Quote
Drewski Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 are thosse wicked +2 on ur red shee there i see? no they are not. they are yfz 450 arms and shocks. But if I were on your budget I would go for the wickeds and Elkas. I saw +2 wickeds for $350 shipped on ebay and I'm sure you could find a decent set of elkas for $400 somewhere Quote
