Default Pro action fork kit

I replaced my rear shocks with bitubos and now realize how shitty the front suspension is. I know the front sucked, but now it really sucks.I seen that pro action has a fork kit.
Has anyone installed this kit?
Was thinking about going with ledgens but damn, $750.00.

I installed their kit this spring. I think it works as advertised & the front feels great. Much better than stock. It's a bit stiff hitting a pothole or sharp edged bump but not too bad. I was taking the forks apart for service so i figured I'd try it. I'm glad I did. I'm gonna give their shocks a try soon.

Have it on my bike. It's fantastic, especially for the price. Massive improvement over stock and some great customer service.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered them. I would guess that install is pretty straight forward.

Will these get rid of that awful "front end dive" ?

I chose to go with Progressive's cartridge kit but anything you do to improve the action of the front fork is a good thing.

I have the progressive cartridges now. They are better than stock. They got rid of the front end drive but still feels like crap.
Thought I'd try the fork kit. Hopefully PA fork kit works well

The Progressive cartridge system does not give a plush ride, that's for sure. I like it for it's ability to soak up the big bumps and it's control and feel in the corners.
