Default what kinD of suspension for my Raptor???? whats the best one with a reasonable price

Whats up. I have a pretty nice built Raptor. i have most engine work done on it. I just need suspension to balance the ride on it. I'm thinking of going with elka shocks. but theirs duel. tripple. an deven quatro something shocks now. I run some track on it but righyt now my stock suspension isnt enough for it. Alba Mtrsprts has a whole front system for about 900. with their A arms, and brake lines and elka shocks but im not sure. what can i get for a good price.??? plus theirs a sht load of different kinds of A arms and sizes. im way lost now! Help!! HOOK IT UP WITH SOME CONTACTS FOR SUSPENSION.

i have been wondering the same thing also
mine is just a pipe and carb but i want to do the suspension before the motor
i have been looking into the folowing

eyeball engineering
lonestar
houser
gibson
roll design
laegers
walsh
and more

the roll design is really expensive and i dont know if it is worth it
the eyeball stuff looks good and is affordable but i have heard no feedback from anyone that uses it

anything with remote or piggy back resivoirs, will be good. Depends on where you do most of your riding, if its mostly trail get some wokrs they will be good enough for most people, and unless you weigh around 225 and race long desert races you will only need a +2 a-arm dont worry about long travel. That should give you a good start for the front.

You can get TCS triple rate fronts w/rez compression adjust for around $700. And TCS rebuild for $325-$400.
