I recently got a couple of free LT80's (one runner, one parts machine). Since then, I have destroyed 2 rear axle bearing carriers, one from a snowmobile hitting it at 35 mph, the other apparently doing too many jumps/bottoming the shock too much. It may have been cracked from the previous owner. I don't know. I only weigh 130 lbs, I don't think I could have wrecked a bearing carrier in a week, no matter how much air I may have gotten. I was doing stuff like 2 - 3 foot drops onto flat land, maybe some 2 or 3 foot jumps onto flat landings. Not that much hardcore stuff.
Anyway. I ordered a new axle bearing carrier just yesterday (98 bucks!) and a set of WideRide spacers (front and rear +5 inches!), as well as a 420 re-gearing kit with a claimed +5 mph on the top end. The LT80 already has an FMF Fatty pipe with TurbineCore silencer. I was wondering what kind of shocks I can scavenge around for and stick on the front end of the Zuk', to stiffen up the suspension for the new wider wheelbase. Also, I want to hear ideas for how to get a stiffer rear end. I unfortunately don't have 700 dollars for a set of Works shocks all around.
Thanks for the help.
