I've got an '04 Stinky which is currently running 454 pikes ... perfect much for trail riding and maybe 4x.
Its also had boxxers on it ... which was also pretty good for the FR / AM thing.
However, if you haven't already I'd suggest saving to upgrade the shock first (especially if your still running the stock Fox vanillas). I upgraded to 5th elements and this has totally changed its character, more so then the forks.
If you have questions re: shock, PM me happy to give you some suggestions and eye to eye lengths etc.
good luck
