Can I put Mountain bike wheels on a kink curb 2011 bmx frame and a shock absorber fork?

I have a 2011 kink curb bmx bike and I was wondering if I could put mountain bike rims and tire on it and change the fork to a shock absorber fork? If I can%26#039;t why not?|||You can not put 24%26#039;s or 26%26#039;s on a bike meant for 20%26#039;s. If you buy a fork that fits your headset you can change them out but for the price of a descent fork and some new wheels you could buy a low end mountain bike and have two.|||to change your forks you will need to change your stem as well. that%26#039;s the piece holding the handle bars. and no you cant because the forks with shock absorption are longer than the original forks, causing a huge imbalance on the bike. it would no longer be level and wouldn%26#039;t ride right. at least that%26#039;s what i expect to happen. and hey dude just sell the kink bike for some $$$ and buy a mountain bike if you want one. and hey if you want a mountain bike with a more bmx like frame look at hardtail mountain bikes. a bit more expensive-but worth it.
