    did a little bit of research and looks to be the raceland ultimos that most people are saying quality for budget. price is 400 which is not bad for new, but cannot afford at this point was hoping someone had somethnig used for like a hundred bucks or so. maybe if i can pull through till taxes time then i can get em.

    just wait till spring. why put brand new suspension on just in time for winter?

    also, don’t buy a cupkit. coils are nice for setting to the exact height you want.
