Here's a couple complete front end kits that would work just fine. I would opt for the LSR/Fox, but that's just me. Either one of these are going to be night and day difference from stock.

Have you tried Ebay banshee products? Ive been told by numerous people not to trust whats on Ebay.

Hello guys,

Regarding the front suspension and travel, I found the Rock Chromoly A-Arms go for around 150 dollars while the Lonestar pair goes for 1400. The smart thing to do is go with the 90% cheaper option, but what do you guys think?

I think you need to reassess what you’re calling the smart thing to do.

Both of those sets are from ATV Galaxy. I’ve bought many parts from them. But yes, you do need to watch out on eBay.

Since when ever has the smart thing to do been to buy the cheapest option?

 

If you're looking to build a complete dune bike, you should figure you'll spend $6-15k

There just A-arms.  If they fail, from being built out of china melted junk, and welded up in a 3rd world country garage by a ddq,  what's the worse that can happen

Update, I got the Fox Gen 3 suspension with Lone Star A Arms ... I did the real (smart decision) and went with the more expensive ones lol

Add 4/1 rims to that. They’ll make a bigger difference than you’ll believe.

You’ll have the engine out and most of the suspension apart, may as well cut the extra tabs off the frame and gusset it and have it powdered. I can help you out on cleaning the frame up if you can get it to me in Ohio.

Other than that, a cut harness and a good set of nerfs and you’ll be getting close to a really nice build.

I already bought a set of beadlock wheels from albaracing, I got them in factory size. Lets see how it goes might get another set. 

I wanted to keep it as stock as possible (frame) I heard about this new Full Plastics division and I think thats what Im aiming for, not sure if I can enter it with a 4 mil, well have to wait and see when the races start. 

I wanted to get all the frame powder coated black but unfortunately thats going to add another 10 days of work on the bike, apparently all the shops are full at this time of year. So Im going to keep that on hold till the summer.

You can wait to see how it goes or I can tell you. It’s a drastic difference if you’re going to be pushing it any at all.

With 20” tires, it cuts feedback by around 85% depending on the tire pressure you run at. It’s fairly easy to calculate.

Stock offset works best with around 24” tires.

I dont think I can send them back, I already opened them up and put the tires on, was so excited couldnt wait for the bike to come back from the shop. Ill probably order another set later on this season.
