what parts did you bend? Because aftermarket suspension is expensive, and you don't want to have to replace more parts than you need.

If you are bending a-arms and shocks, it's probably best to replace both with aftermarket ones. It depends on how much you are willing to spend, but you can get a decent front suspension setup starting at around $800. Any less than that, then you have to start questioning the quality of the stuff you're buying, because you get what you pay for. If you're really on a budget, you can probably get away with keeping your stock a-arms, and just upgrading the shocks. That will cost you about $350 for some good ones.

+2+1 a-arms mean the a-arms are 2 inches wider per side, and move the front wheels 1 inch forward. That means the quad will be a total of 4 inches wider in the front, and the extra inch forward just makes it a little more stable.

The I-shock 5500 kit comes with every thing you need. New tie rods and breaded brake lines. Every thing is bolt up and fits like a glove. I'v only been able to ride in the dunes, and have'nt really gotten a chance to fine tune the front end. The thing I like the most about the I-shock kit is that it comes with every thing even brake line clamps and a bearing press tool. Also now I have 4 differant ways to adjust the front end. Right now I have the front end set up for cross country racing
