Which way to go????

I am up in the air about a new front suspension. What would be the main difference between using a long travel kit or just changing out the front and rear shocks. I mostly dunes ride and some trail ride. If a long travel kit is preferred, how is the ZBroz racing suspension. They have an awesome sale on right now.

welll it all depends on what u want to do, changing out the stock shocks will help, but ull still want to extend the arms for stability and better handling, i highly reccomend taking advatange of the sale at zbroz racing right now, if i had the cash i would buy them in a heart beat will be a night and day difference over stock(keep in mind of the trails u ride as you will be a little bit wider) ive ridden many long travel quads at the dunes and the riding is sooo much better! haul ASS through the whoops

I am seriously considering the exit/ars set up. It is a very good deal but i'd like to get reviews from a member on this site before i pull the trigger. Does anyone have this setup yet??

I use the ATV Fourplay XC arms for trail and dunes. With the geometry of the arms it iss unbeleivable how much MORE travel you get with standard length shocks. They are 1/4-1/2" wider and bost 2" more travel! They are truely an amazing set and you can find them from Ken at KBMotorsports.
