sup guys, i was wondering if just replacing the stock fork spring with a red barron aftermarket hard spring would fit? or do i need 2 get extender legs and bushs? also could i just put a hard spring on the back or do i need a shock? i want 2 turn my stock with high bars into a jumping bike
peace

Yep id recommend getting the extended forks and bushes!!
And yes replace the whole rear shock too!!
If ya got good susspension your less likley to bend other things!!Soon as you start bottoming out all the weight is going to go to frame and pegs,and thats when things brake and bend!!

Yeh man you can just put in the heavier springs but if you start jumping you will start to bend stuff. I got a 2nd hand kitaco shock real CHEAP if ya wanna give is a call.
Goodluck dude

I think rear is a must for a good shock.. front stock suspension is probly not such a big deal... stock legs with heavy springs and better bushes is all im putting on.. stock legs might bend in the end (re-place them when they bend IMO.. (well thats what i plan to do on my crf)
