i was going to buy the super cheap shocks for 10 bucks, but my dad was talking about his polaris rzr 800, it has been out three times, and my dad is buying a long travel suspension kit, so he gets new a arms new tie rods, extended axles, etc, and best of all new shocks, and i get the old shocks, the fronts give like 3.5 inches before the bump stop and the backs get like 4.5 inches before the bump stop, so if i mount them half way then i will get 7 inches in the front, there made for a 800lb buggy with two riders, but they can be adjusted, my plan it to mount the closer to the pivot point to get more suspension travel because half way on the a arms will be to hard, it may have a foot or more of suspension travel, they say it has 14 inches of ground clearance so i can have alot of travel, im going to price out tires but i now have like 600 of my own money now, and my dad will go halves for parts so i have about a 1200 dollar budget, i may not spend that much tho,
Lucky you on the wheel-and-tire budget!! Your shocks sound awesome... with tons of travel. Our karts have very soft shocks at this time, and for our trial run, they worked great. You will have something that looks like a sand-rail when you are done, that will be more comfortable to ride than a Cadillac! I'll watch your build for pictures!
