I did the "weld an extension on" route and that failed. After lots of research I chose the Tucker and am VERY pleased ! Jeremy is great to work with and the price is right. Very nice design, quality of work, and great customer service (real 5 year warranty)....

My stock swingarm and shock work excellent for MX. I just recommend widening out the front and back to help stabilize the Rappy in the corners(wider axle and a-arms). Other than that, the suspension on the rear is great!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

The rear shock on the 02s and up aren't bad units. There was a sponsor on here that did suspension work but I don't remember the name and I heard the quad shop is good to deal with for setup and rebuilding.

I think the stock rear shock is just fine (properly adjusted) ! I went with an Elka SSD and really like it but am not sure there is a $700 difference !? It does work good though !

More often than not guys never really get the rear shock tuned to their liking and think it's a bad shock - spend some time trying various pre-load, compression, and rebound settings before rushing out for the new shock.
