well the thing about the shocks, all the big companies will give you a 30 day ride guarantee or whatever u wana call it.. if your not happy with now they work the first time u ride it, you can take them off and send em back to elka, at least this is how Works work, and im sure elka does the same thing, so if they are too soft or whatever, send em right back and they re-valve them at no cost, ANYTHING is gona be 50 times better than those stock shocks
as far as the full flight a arms they offer a couple kinds, some are cheap steal, some are chromolly, they also have shit steal heims or upgraded chromoly heims for more money, and if i were you thats what i would want ( dont waste money on cheap steal crap, chromoly is stronger and lighter), by the time you get the chromoly ones with the upgraded chromoly heims, you are lookin at at $500++ ... which puts you in the market for alot of others, somethin like a-arms isnt what u wana be cheap on, sure u can buy a cheap set for like $370 or whatever they have em on ebay for.. but thats up to you. its your neck,
ive heard mixed reviews about both compies, full flight and ASR, quite a few bad stories about both, do a search ssee what comes up
i personally run the armadillo ones from rocky mountain, love them, very good quality and come with skidplates for en extra $60, they are around $550 with the skidplates
