Smile Yerf Dog Spiderbox front shocks.....what is the best replacement?

Hey......I am looking to replace the shocks on the front of my spiderbox 3206. Previous owner had 12" shocks on it already but they are too stiff and I am looking for a soft 11-12" shock set that will soak up the bumps. I have 19" tires on the front and I just need something that will take the whoopdies when I am flying.

What do you other yerf dog owners use in the front for a taller but soft shock?

Thanks

olderthan - thanks for the reply. I am actually looking for shocks on the front of my yerf. The front end on these things is sooooo light that I am having a hard time finding something that will be soft enough to absorb some bumps.

What do you use on the front?

Ok.....thanks for the help on that. I have also heard that banshee shocks may work? I wish that I had a larger eye to eye space......I would put some arctic cat ACT shocks off of a firecat on there.

Anyone else have an opinion for a very soft shock on the front of a yerf 3206 spiderbox? I can't believe that there isn't someone out there that owns one and has larger shocks on it considering how poorly it rides with the pogo sticks that came from the factory.
