Suspension is one of the best upgrades you can do. The stuff that comes from the factory leaves a lot to be desired. You never know that until you've ran the upgraded stuff though.

Exactly, have Enzo on my T3 and a big improvement or stock.

The KYB 40's that come with the Freeride are a great shock, but they took off the High/low compression adjuster (race sleds come with it)
And replaced it with that Big Red nob adjuster and it only effects High speed compression damping. So turn it up high as you want
and it won't change your low speed compression damping.
Which isn't good for jumping. When I come into a take off hot, the suspension totally bottoms out and bottoms out real hard if you
miss your sweet spot on the landing at all.
So valve them a bit stiffer, and add the high/low compression adjustment. Doo also uses crappy eviro friendly shock oil(will be switching to different oil) and might play with spring rates too.
Stock skid welds are **** too, so will be welding the skid proper and add some bracing to the rear arm. Debating getting rid of the T-motion, but not 100% on that yet.

i honestly feel like tmotion makes the sled good for a novice rider who is learning.but when you get into jumping and harder lines i find it makes the sled wash out really easy and not hold a good landing..kinda flops all over the place.
i would chuck it if you are into jumping.u want a sled that dosnt tip so hard when landing from big hits.want it to be planted.
just my opinion though.
looking forward to the build man!

I would agree with most of that. When I am riding I don't really notice any problems with the T-motion making the sled washout.
But I don't think it is really helping either. Seems like it is not doing a whole lot besides creating unneeded slop in the skid.

Got it straightened out pretty good. The not bent Arm lines up now, and the suspension moves up
and down with no binding and looks pretty straight.
Will look good as new when I rivet the a new nose cone on.
Turple Bros didnt have a-arm though and said it is on backorder till september though! So I'll have to try to find one somewhere else. (

If you aren't replacing your s-mod, then these are probably a good idea considering the amount of air miles you collect. Good to see you could save yourself a few hundred bucks.

Yeah save a little money and plus the S-mod is bit of a PITA to change out. With all the bracing should be stronger than stock I figure.

Check your bushings in the rear suspension as well. Two t motion sleds Ive owned ive has to do some of the bushings at 600 miles. I recommend greasing the shafts on reinstallation.

Oh I'll be going my through my skid, trust me. It is sloppy as hell right now lol

Yeah I have ran them before. Good upgrade for 80$. Never added a grease nipple before. Not really much material there.
But would be nice to be able to grease them though. How deep do you drill? just to the outer bushings or all the way to the bolt?
Any pics by chance?
Thanks Dan

And he probably won't sell them to Joe Blow either. I tried to buy material last year to rebuild the shocks on my T3. I ended up buying some raptors instead, didn't cost much more than what was quoted for the KYB revalving.
