I got them at JC Motors for $299.00 plus shipping.  I think $325 or so delivered.

Is it worth doing the fronts and doing the rear at a later time? My slow time of year so don't want to spend too much $$$ at one time.

Steve I purchased from these guys.

I went with stock height but they do have the 1" lower that the SEEG's were built with.

I went with Ricor valves in my front end, but have bought many parts from Phat Performance, great prices and quick delivery.

I did the rear last year before going to Tahoe.
I will do the fronts as a small winter project.

Yes...IMO, the front is more important in a lot of ways than the rear.

X2... Had a local shop do the front, with a big difference in ride... Then ordered rears and was a job I could handle.

All is good...Lovin the setup now.

Thanks

Steve...not answering for Brad, but I'd put new Bushings (minimal cost) and Seals in at the same time.  Your bushings will be well worn, and they are cheap for a HD part.  And of course, new fork oil.

Good suggestion, Thanks
SE Fork Oil or standard HD Fork Oil??

Steve not tied to upgrading the front suspension but does a play a part in the suspension persay... when I did my front/rear suspension I also replaced the motor mounts and swing arm bushings. I was told/read that if these items were worn they could play a role in how your suspension felt/handled.

I used Belray 10W Fork Oil in mine.

The swing arm bushing was done less than 3k ago and I think the front motor mount has been done twice now.

If you're installing the Progressive Monotubes, the recommended fork oil is 10W.  It only takes 5oz per side.  Even if you're not doing the Monotubes, use 10W.  The SE fork oil, is too heavy, IMO.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is at least 15w.  It will make the suspension more unresponsive.

Whatever you use, get some high quality synthetic fork oil...it will last twice as long.

Traxxion Dynamics uses 7wt syn, but their cartridges work differently than the monotubes.

[BUBBLEHEAD]

Speaking of Traxxion Dynamics  how do the monotubes compare with there AK-20s? I know the price differance and they are differant types of suspension, but on a day to day basis how do they compare?
