I got a old frame given to me, and rebuilt it. the frame is a DBR x-6 rear shock cane creek ad-5, front shock u-turn easton 120mm, didtch witch front rim, mammoth rear rim, kenda xc nevegal 2.5 front, specialized roller 2.35 rear wire bead, specialized riser bar, cane creek s-2 sealed head set,trans-x stem, truvati cranks, I had to rebuild the rear shock but it took less than an hour.
Rides good, But I want more travel in the rear and the front, 200mm up front and 6 to 8 inch travel in back would be best, but thats a going to be a lot of money.

Sounds like a fun lil ride. Sometimes its often best to not tweak with the geometry too much as the intended pieces on there are typically what works best.

I'd say ride it, and save up your $ for a new ride when the time arises so far as nothing is broken and functions correctly.
