I am wanting to upgrade to long travel dc-4 lsr a-arms and a set of pep lt shocks.Not quite sure on the price but I have a lot into the shocks , they were just all re-valved and re-sprung for my weight, and longer lines to mount behind the rad. They are the first gen works/pep with the works bottles on them, all set up by Seth Fliggie at SFRacing. I have only rode on these in the yard and at redbud as a pit bike for a day, no track time since the new shafts were installed because they had hair line cracks in them and no dunes time either. I am thinking like $675 shipped for the front shocks, I know its high but I have way more than that into buying and all the new and rebuilt part of them.
Now the a-arms are lasr race arms +2+1, uppers I had chromed for the build of the bike and the lowers are called a black chrome powder with all new ball joints and heims and bushings and spacers for the heims to mount into the frame, and new tierods but will not come with ends that are new. I will need the ends for the new a-arms, I will pry ask $475 shipped for the arms. There is some marks from where the tierod ends touch the lower arms when sittingand you turn the bars and move quad around while pushing it.
Please let me know what yall think

Is there a specific reason you want to go to long travel? Although some a-arms come with the title of "long travel", the amount that the wheels travel isn't always farther. You can only have so much travel until your frame bottoms out.

Unless the DC4 a-arms provide better geometry or adjustment capabilities...i'd say you're fine with those a-arms. If anything maybe just upgrade the shocks to a more quality unit other than Works

Its not the shocks tbone07, the tierod ends are hitting the arms and it sucks. The shocks are the old school pep/works and they are all new inside and almost out, all done by sfracing which is a part of pep.
