how much did you really spend to get it done ? tim
Tim,
Here is the kit You would have some shipping on top of the $800. The nice thing with this kit is you can run your stock shocks or aftermarket replacement shocks for stock. You dont gain any travel unless you put on an "S" Podium or replacement shock. Stock I think is around 9" and with the S setup it is around 12". Your best bet would be to sell your Walker Evans and then purchase the Fox position sensitive or Dragonfire custom valved Fox shocks. Stay away from the Fox Podiums that come stock on the S. They are not near as good as the 2.0 Foxes. There are some other good S replacement shocks out there like King, Makin Trax, Elka, etc. Installing the kit is fairly easy but you will need some mechanical skills. I used a press instead of a hammer to install the ball joints for the old to new arms. For strength I also purchased the
Racer Tech Gusset kit. It is $100 with the washers for the pivots on the arms and worth the extra $25. Lots of pieces to weld in and takes some time. I used paint stripper then sanded all the areas that needed welding. It is quite a bit of work to weld all of this in but worth it. Not sure what it would cost if you had to hire someone. There is also a
sleeve kit for the frame but you can buy a 10' length of black iron pipe from Home Depot for $9, cut the pieces, and do the same.
Edited to add: The basic kit comes with longer axles and you need to transfer the CVs over yourself. I saved all of the little clamps but it was tricky. You will need the special pliers to do the clamps. Packing the CVs and changing axles took me about 3 hours. You can buy the kit with CVs but it is more expensive. My CVs were like new so no need. The axle clicks into the differential so be sure to buy new clips from Polaris. They are cheap and with the old clip some guys have had them fall out.
