Stock Blasty suspension.

Where i ride is rocky as hell.
This stock blasty suspension sux.Way to stiff and bouncy,at 40 yrs old,back surgery bad elbows and knees.maybe i shouldn't ride?idk.
being on a tight budget,where do i get and what kind of metal,to make my own lengthened a-arms?I can make a jig,I am pretty handy and good at welding.
Just tryin to think of low dollar options for a handy guy.I kow the shox are a big issue,would just changing the shocks help alot?

whats the cheapest shox if it helps to replace to have something more cushy?

best bet are works dual rates. find them for 150ish on ebay.

Well hush your mouth, not ride, what a statement.

Being affected by nearly the same problems as you I still ride and I am chasing 70 yrs.

Upgrading the shocks and fitting a steering stabiliser will drastically improve the comfort or your ride.

Works dual rate shocks soak up a lot of the bumps.

the only other option are banshee shocks. which are pretty much exactly the same as blaster's
ive heard of ppl using snomobile shocks, but it dosent make sense for me. snomobiles are like 500lbs. blasters are 350 bone stock. mine is probs 300lbs

sweet i'll find some extra work n save up for some,would longer a-arms help also?

not unless they change the shock position.
