If you are going to being alot of jumping I would get some stronger rims. Those .125 Douglas rims will bend really easily you should get some .190 douglas rims. I personally have Douglas Ultimate Beadlocks on the rear of my blaster and they are very strong but you probably wouldn't need them unless you are racing. Also do you have an aftermarket pipe or not. If you don't I would get one just give you that little extra to go with your porting.

Our Blaster sees some major air! The swingarm cracked badly when the bike was about a year old. The cracks were along the center by the cross brace, ANYWHERE THERE WAS A BEAD FROM WELDING. It almost looks like the tourch was to hot, and ruined the temper of the surrounding steel. Keep an eye on your swingarm!

My lonest jump was 50 foot table top. I have stock shocks and stock rims I bottom almost every time but I never bend my stock rims. I'm goin with works shocks all the way around and then buyin a axle and some alum. rims and then news a-arms. I would go with shocks first!
