looking at Walsh, Laeger, or JB.

any input would be great

also putting either fox, custom axis, or PEP shocks

I would go with the JB long travel with castor adjustment with the Fox Float Evols out of your choices. Walsh would probably be my first choice if it wasn't so expensive.

We have Walsh and JB Racing Suspension Kits on our website. (Click the picture for more details)

If you have any questions feel free to ask by calling or sending a private message. I didn't know Axis was in your list of options. I like Axis and Fox about the same. It's not possible to make a bad decision between Axis and Fox.

Well everything you listed there is completely top notch components. So in my opinion you really can't go wrong with any combination of those. Laeger has went out of business though. However, if I were to pick one for myself, it would definetly be PEP/JB.

It seems that you still can get leager parts, but they don't have a website anymore

And how do you adjust castor on the jb frontend? With shims or with the heims? I'm looking for a shim style castor frontend, because I either race on hard packed, or on deep rutted sandtracks. And with those heims you can't adjust castor fast.

I'm pretty sure they did. However, a few days ago someone claiming to be a Laeger representative stated Laeger is still doing business. Regardless i'd steer clear of Laeger until they iron things out. If you want a Laeger a-arm go with JD Performance. The owner of JDP worked at Laeger for 10 years before starting his own business. JDP has a real good rep on Moddedraptor and trx450r.org. Frank MB JDP offers a Shim style castor adjustment for XC,MX,and desert. You might want to look into that. Also if you'd like to adjust your castor quickly check out Houser Slicast.

take care & have a good weekend!
