raptor 350 shocks

alex456123 · Dec 2, 2012

are rappy 350 front shock springs progressive? i want banshee shock performance but the rappy shocks are cheaper for a better condition shock.

I've read that the rappy shocks are cheaper then the warrior's. Idk how true that is...

alex456123 · Dec 2, 2012

they look exactly the same except the rappy shocks have shaft protectors andwhat looks to be progressive springs. my shocks are the oem ones and they are blown to high hell, they are pogo sticks basically.

Do banshee shocks all around

Gen1Pat · Dec 2, 2012

You've got a 1st gen, so shee shocks are going to be waaaayyy longer. Ours are only 14" eye to eye, if I'm not mistaken. Shee's are a little longer then 2nd gen's.

alex456123 · Dec 2, 2012

I'll go rappy 350 shocks then

beastlywarrior228 · Dec 3, 2012

Banshees i have are the same length as my stock shocks and sisnt change ride height at all

88WarriorBoy · Dec 3, 2012

Yeah but first gen shocks are 3/4 of an inch shorter therefore more ball joint stress and possible chance for catastrophic failure

alex456123 · Dec 3, 2012

Sooooo, I should stick to stock shocks? They really piss me off!

88WarriorBoy · Dec 3, 2012

Or you can look for a set of works that are 14.00 inches in length

I know but raptor 350 shocks are the same way 3/4 of an inch shouldnt be enough to bind the ball joints and bottom them but once again im not 100%

alex456123 · Dec 3, 2012

Can't afford em man... Unless someone on here can cut me a deal... Which I don't think anyone will be able to cut me that big of a deal! Could a 3/4 of an inch really cause my ball joints to fail?

Was looking on ebay and the rappy rear shocks are only 13.5in... Wonder if a person could resring them and revalve them for the front end..... Just an idea...

alex456123 · Dec 3, 2012

Maw wouldn't work they are non rebuildable I belive

sparkymichigan · Dec 3, 2012

I've got them on my 2nd gen. They work pretty well. I'll measure them today for you.

bones · Dec 3, 2012

what kind of price are looking for? .... these have a starting bid of 40 + shipping ....

sparkymichigan · Dec 3, 2012

They are 14.5" eye to eye

Jordysoso · Dec 3, 2012

There is no way in hell those two shocks cost $70 to ship.

Gen1Pat · Dec 3, 2012

I spent 400 on my works. Ya know alex, if you made some upper control arms with adjustable heims, you can run the shee's without issue. Just adjust the camber to correct the balljoint angle.

beastlywarrior228 · Dec 3, 2012

How much more droop do you have the problem you run into is if the ball joints bottom before your shocks

Also 300ex shocks might be 14" but idk how well theyd work, most likely sprung too soft

Also the rear shocks are rebuildable
