I have a 02 stinky 9 with a avalanche rear shock, but want to upgrade my for. Should I buy the 888 with go ride crowns or 03 Dorados. Help a rider out

What kind of riding do you do?

DH and free riding

based on the information you've given I'd pick the dorado. Not because I like them any more, actually I've never ridden either fork. I just think anybody who actually considers a dorado is short changing themself if they don't just pony up for one.

That said neither of those forks are really freeride oriented, if you're doing very agressive freeride you should probablly look at some slightly heavier forks.

The 888 seems pretty freeride-oriented to me. Several riders used it in the Red Bull Rampage, which is about as aggressive as it gets (in terms of hucking, anyway).
