While the Fox Float or Ishock are rated as some of the best rear options out there, im looking to raise my 07 CRF50 ~1" front and rear for street use and a 170lb adult.

Does SGR offer quality products?

I was looking at this kit which seems to be the only inexpensive and complete suspension kit with a real front oil filled shock, rear shock, and extended swingarm:

Is this a good deal and product ir should i piece together all the components with better stuff?  Im not looking for THE best that will take big jumps but just something that i wont regret ir that will break right away just riding it around.


Thank you.

I do appreciate a good suspension but a bbr fork alone can cost more than i paid for the entire bike.  The stock suspension is just springs with no fluid dampers. A 1" front fork extender and HD springs would have a similar lack of damping but will have the 1" height increase im looking for. I figured the kit i posted would have a nicer quality front fork with actual damping and would be much nicer than just a fork extender.

While a $5-1,200 inverted monotube adjustable fork with 6" of travel would be awesome, i simply dont need that for my uses. Also since im not jumping it. I dont think the cheaper swingarm would be that bad compared to a bbr which is also 3x the cost.  Now if i were racing and jumping it, i would get high quality proven stuff. For my uses, is the above kit that bad and is it better than just extended forks?
