Spent some time trying to figure out what to do bike-wise and I think I'm going to keep my existing Ironhorse MKIII. For the trails I ride it works pretty well.

I have a ton of questions though as I've been out of the game a while. Hopefully you can help.
1. What do I need to know to replace the existing Progressive 5th Element Air rear shock? I would like to put something beefier in with a possible lock-out.
2. Do I need to buy Hayes Specific rotors?
3. Can I change my 6" brakes to 7" if I buy a different adapter for the fork and frame?
4. What tires are you running on a trail/xc bike? Mine are old and will need to be changed soon.
