Go with the axle first. I have a Durablue 2+2 and can't complain about it. For shocks, I run Works Performance and same results..no problems...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I would go w/ shocks, b/c they lower/widen your quad which in turn helps it handle alot better. It won't widen your back end for obvious reasons, but if you go w/ just the axle your back end will be wider than your front unless you flip the stock rims. With the back end wider it will tend to wash out more and ride up on burms instead of railing them.

Shocks!!

If you want an axle you should do a-arms as well unless you ride dunes only
with the axle and no a-arms the quad "pushes" through the corners
