wow i wish my stockers could take a 20 footer, it bootoms out on almost any jump. haha im lookin really hard at the elka triple rates, w/o the rezzies. theyre cheap and i heard they can take a beating im open to suggestions tho
how long are your stockers? have you checked on a set of 450r stocks? what about a 450r a-arms? aren't they alittle longer too? those elkas should do good, i wouldn't recommend them for full blown racing, they will probably heat up, but i dont know for sure. Go with a set of houser tric-trac a-arms and a set of triple rate Custom Axis shocks!!lol
my stockers are 16 inch. 450r shocks will fit but i dont think they will suit my needs, since im gunna be racing mx. 450r a arms wont fit, they mount up differeantly from wat ive been told. hell man you like the expensive stuff haha. im not willing to spend more than 550-600 just on the shock. considering they will be ran on stock a arms for a long period of time. im lookin at some used standard travel triple rate elka piggybacks the guy wants $450.

yea i had to hit the rev limiter on the burm too. but as soon as i came out of the rhytym section, i had to shift to 4th and pin it to clear that triple. i came a lil bit nose heavy on that jump one time and i was scared outta my wits haha are you runnin your yfz on stock revalves?
their bone stock off my friends 08.. i have them opened up all the way and the preload all the way out, and suprisingly today was the first day i've really tried some real jumps, (over 30 foot) since i opened them up for the woods, i over jumped a 60ft tabletop, and it was suprisingly forgiving! it didn't completly bottom.. i'm still running the 05 rear shock, it sucks!! i want to get them reworked. In those pics from yadkinville,(my background) i was trying out a set of dual rate revalvers a friend is trying to sell, I HATED THEM!! they beat me to death! What kind of suspension are you wanting to go with?
yeah i managed to stay on it, it wasnt bad enough to ruin a day, i just got her straight and went on, and learned to keep it against the rev limiter in 3rd around that birm and bust it on the inside.. i was supposed to go today but.. those plans fell out.. that sucks!
