Our family has a 2020 Levo FF Comp and three Luna Cycle X-1 Enduros. We typically end rides with over 50% battery remaining on the Levo FF, so I'm going to buy the 2021 SL Comp Carbon and do a budget build on it. My main question is the shock. I need a recommendation for a used shock to purchase that is around $500 used. I would prefer RockShox because all our other bikes have RockShox suspension, and I would like to do all the setup/service work myself.

My planned build:
Zeb Ultimate fork - not because I need it, but I want to try one of the best possible forks on the market and I can sell it used if I don't need it.
~$500 used shock
Carbon wheelset from China
Carbon bars from China
Upgraded brakes - probably going with Magura MT-7s

I will post my thoughts after I get it built up and a few rides to compare the Levo FF, which is completely stock. LBS doesn't know when the SL will arrive, so I don't know how long it will be.

Just spent some time on RockShox website and realized the shocks are only about $500 new. Guess I don't have to buy used...

What wheels?

I'm not really sure I'd trust random Carbon bars personally. The Nukeproof horizon ones are amazing value for money.
