If you guys dont mind, post your front ends. please try to post complete info including price, wait time, and of course performance...
thanks guys.

fast_man58 · 02-23-2006, 10:53 PM

Laeger Arms - $600
PEP ARC shocks - $800
Wait Time...priceless, what ever it took to ship 'em...maybe like 5 days. normally this front end would cost about $2300

: , and theres no way id ever pay that much. eBaymotors is your friend

performance is exceptional! just the arms alone make a hell of a difference. it handles like its glued to the ground. the big can PEPs have so much adjustment that you can go trail riding and then hit the 70 ft tabletop with just one click (1-

. they are by far the best investment ive made yet

bansheefreestyler · 02-24-2006, 12:21 AM

heres mine. not a complete front end but a start. triple rate elka elites. I paid $900 Canadian for them and waited maybe a week. Roll Or herrmann a-arms will be coming soon. can anyone tell me if the top springs on my shocks should be or shouldnt be compressed when sititng on the ground? if they arent supposed to be compressed how do i fix that?

Mustache Ride · 02-24-2006, 12:35 AM

i dont think the should be compressed....maybe because your shocks are for LT a-arms?

fast_man58 · 02-24-2006, 12:39 AM

yes BFS, they are supposed to be like that. the first spring is part of the SSD (self sagging device) dont worry about it. you wont be able to get roll design arms though...unless you get new shocks

bansheefreestyler · 02-24-2006, 12:55 AM

ok i thought it might have something to do with that. so the front wheels will stay in contact with the ground in the rough stuff right? is it only elka that has that? and i was talking to Bo at roll and he said he could hook me up with some +2s.
