I asked BETD to be double sure when I was thinking of ordering a kit.. Yes, all of the AC frames are exactly the same.

Um. Just remember, the leverage ratio increases quite a bit and the frame isn't designed to be a DH frame. I don't think there's anything wrong with it if you're just looking for a little more travel on a trail bike, but it's probably not the greatest idea to be turning your AC into a downhill bike. You'll break your frame if you're not careful..

Also, it raises your BB about an inch. Nothing wrong with the upgrade, but make sure you know what you're getting into! :D

Definitely cheaper than buying a longer stroke shock.

Did you buy it? Let us know how it works!!!!!!!!

However. I think spending the money to buy a longer stroke shock might give the bike a little better of a ride, due to the leverage ratio change with the plate. I could be proven wrong. Buy it!!!!! Ride it!!!!! Report!!!!
