i was wondering how the whole package( a-arm and shocks) was?

I have the I5500 set up. I've had the setup for almost a year now and I've been really happy with it. I ride trail and dunes and have noticed a big difference in the handling. I haven't had any problem with it at all. The install was simple and everything was included. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. On jumps that my friends have bottomed out on with their stock setups I've been fine. Over all I'm extremely happy with the product. I will say that on my next quad I'll probably go with a long travel setup if I'm going to spend the money. I know Ishock is coming out with a long travel set up that looks pretty sweet but I don't know how it will compare price wise. Overall I'm really happy with the setup. Sorry about the blurry pic

Hey Whorehay, what brand of tires are you sporting in you pic?

the brand is DURO... im not sure what the model name or numbers are

They already have the longtravel kit out it retails for $2300

Their new standard travel kit now comes with dual rate springs. You can also upgrade the old single spring F8 shocks with a dual spring kit it's like $150.00

Actually they are BETTER then dual rate .......... there are two springs, but the main spring is progressive rate. I-shock also released their new long travel front ends. They are very nice and MGC too.

I'm going to send mine in pretty soon to have them rebuilt and upgraded to the duel spring set up and let everyone know how it went.

I have seen it for ALOT less then that .......

where at??

I dont know how much the LT kits are or even how much the ST kits are. But I bought there a-arm kt and it is alsome. I have heard the a-arm kit retails for around $800 and I only paid $350 for mine.

I am not trying to brag, I am just saying you can buy them for alot cheeper than the retail price.

i got my whole front end kit new on here for 650

I have the same kit but have never used it. Just up and down the street and I can tell it is much better but the real test will be in Glamis on Thursday.

Pleae people DONT WASTE YOURE MONEY ON ISHOCKS. reason1. quality for the price sucks i got my elka complete front from alba action for 1300 shipped

reason 2 adjustments are almost worthless compared to the top 3 shock brands, elka.fox,axis

reason3 PRICE elkas or foxes migh be a couple hundred more but well worth it

also 1 other thing those are single rate shocks wich SUCK it would be better to send youre stock shocks to GT thunder and they can make it dual rate.


My kit for 1300 from alba included. Elka triple rate with piggy back res compression,rebound,ride hight,high and low speed adjustments. +2 black powder coated front a arms, new bushings, new tie rods, front streamline steel braided brake lines, complete front end. my friend jesse has i shock on his trx and his cant handle the whoops, g-outs of jumps like my suspension can

I-SHOCK waste of money check out albaaction.com

No mention of Motowoz?

And ya I to have ridden I-Shock setups and they are garbage compared to almost any other company.

But hey at least they package their products top notch.

WORKS shocks are pretty good too. dont buy i shock. youre stock shocks can be better for way less money and you can obtain top quality, race proven suspension setups for the same price, some times cheaper in my case

I have the i5500 kit with the dual spring F8 shocks set up with the phantom +2 a arms and have absolutley no complaints about the quality, ride, or costumer service. They are backed with a lifetime guarantee and handle way better than what comes stock on the bike. If I was planning on spending upwards around $2000 for a front end I'd look at DC-4 LSR arms w/axis lt shocks or something like that but for the guys that are picking up these a-arms for under $400 and aren't competative racers but want a bike that handles way better than stock these are great. I don't know how well the LT set up handles from ishock but HDUSA as a company makes quality products and backs them with outstanding costumer service.

i agree! its a nice setup especially to stock, never bottomed out and they handle excellent and the shocks and arms are guareteed for life cant go wrong i got the whole setup for 650.

how are the a-arms? I plan on having my stock shocks sent off to GT thunder.
$350.00 for +2 aarms and brake lines sounds like a good deal to me.
