I have upgraded my suspension front and back and put wider rims on.

My upgrade was WP progressive fork springs and an adjustable WP rear shock. Hagon would be a cheaper option. I did the work myself. It was no big deal. It took me a few hours to do each one.


I also had a 5.5" rim laced onto a thunderbird rear hub. If you can find a good value hub from a wrecker you will be able to keep riding while the wheel is being built.

In my opinion the suspension upgrade is a very worthwile upgrade. It will feel like a different bike. Plush and precise.

I would get the suspension done first and see how it feels.
