bansheebum Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 We ride a lot in Waynoka, Ok in the dunes, which are usually really rough and beat you up, I'm looking for a long travel setup that will be smooth enough in the rough, but good for occasional jumping sometimes we tend to jump quite a bit. I currently have a set of +2+1 a arms made by full flight (which I don't have much confidence in) but that's another story. The elka shocks I had with the a arms went bad and are too old to rebuild so I bought a new pair of Fox Float 3's when I got them they don't fit the long travel a arms so I guess I'm going to have to sell them. So after all the $$$ spent I still don't have it fixed. I guess my options would be 1. find someone trustworthy and buy a good used setup either just a pair of LT shocks, and use my full flight a arms or the whole a arms if the full flights aren't safe. 2. Quit trying to poor boy this deal and go ahead and buy new alba a arms and elka stage 3 shocks and get the rear shock too. 3. spend a little more $ go with roll design a arms and elka, which I truly don't want to spend that much unless I have too. I would like to find a good used setup that's in great shape if at all possible but have been burned so I am hesitant on doing that again. already spent enough to fix this thing right and still spending....lol I sure appreciate everyones advice and if you can please help me....

hercalmighty Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 What is the eye to eye measurement on the fox floats. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Ditch the full flights. You need LT arms. Pass on the alba too. I'd also look elsewhere for shocks over elka Quote
bansheebum Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 Go past the alba? Like roll design or comparable company Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote
hercalmighty Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Fireball racing. Like I asked earlier, what is the eye to eye length of your fox shocks Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Quote

hercalmighty Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 I had their +2+1 standard travel on my old banshee. Now I have their +3+1 long travel arms and I just ordered a mx swingarm from them. Definitely quality stuff Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Quote
bansheebum Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 They are 14.5 I'm pretty sure Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote
bansheebum Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Posted May 22, 2016 I'll measure them and let you know for sure in a bit Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote
