right now i have an old 902 berrian frame with stock L/P front and irs rear it rides like a log. ive been wantin to up grade susp. for a while like deans 2x3 rear arms and i already have new 2" longer fronts just not on it yet. would that be a good setup? or should i get a new longer & wider frame like a warrior the 902 is fine for me and the g/f but when you get 2 guys in it its a lil snug. |

I got the same frame and mine rides like that as well. try putting a few split leafs in the front tube and put a adjuster in for the rear bars. |

The frame has very little to do with ride quality other than a longer wheell base is better for hill climbing. Ride quality is in the supension. Adding 2 X 3 rear arms and the 2" long front arms is a step in the right direction. After that its the shocks you choose. I would recommend using Fox coil overs if you can afford them. At minimum use torsions and Rancho or bilsteen emulsions. Like most subjects here there will be differences in opinons so you will have to make the decision on what is best for you. |

Ody is dead on! they don't make expensive shocks for nothing. Even the rancho 9000 are better than the autozone specials. my last car was a 952, or 295, or what ever and it rode like a caddy. |

i am building a warrior with deans 2x3 and about 2500 lb air bags, my old frame was a little shorter than this one but it rode like a caddy i imagine it will be the same. honestly do air bags you wont regret it! |
