id go with the shocks because you have the prior knowledge on them and you dont really have to mess with them

i will move the arms to the front of the buggy like some of the other buggys.that will give a longer weel base some were around 80''(stock is 58'').i will move the rear shock mount at the top becouse it is not in the right place.the way thay have it is at to much of an angel to even work becouse it in a bind.

here's the thing about the struts and such. It will probably take quite a bit of fabrication to make happen what you are looking for. Because of that, it may be worth it to just look into getting something that already comes with a long travel suspension such as the Kinroad 300 or something similar.

Here's a picture of the long travel shock setup that kinroad uses. I bet you could buy the components for a reasonable price and fab them on.
One thing you have mentioned is what your goal is in all of this. What are you trying to accomplish. The answer to that should have some bearing on which way to go. |

If you want to get real seriious, do a search on you tube for Drakart and look at the setups on those. Ultimate in bad to the bone but plan on having to kick out some dough.
Fox Racing makes a lot of shocks that would work fine for what you are doing too. |
