I'm with Special06 on this one. I spent equal time on both my quads at this last HQ ride (4days)
My stock suspended '96 with no more than T5's coolhead and K&N, and my 421Serval with Lonestar long travel and all 3 Elka stage 4's.
I can't say my stock Banshee beat me up any worse than the other. AND THAT SAND WAS ROUGH.
I'd be more than happy with a dune/play port and maybe 4mil while at it on my '96.
But then my stock suspension/shocks are in very good shape.
