Is it a direct fit the shock on it has a air fitting I tried to ad air to see if it stiffen up but it didn't seem like any air going in

 

[YAMAHAULER]

yes it's a direct fit
and thats not an air fitting it's to recharge it with Nitrogen

 

[bassf150]

how do you recharge what do you need will it make it stiffer

Welcome to the site, The 01 660's rear is quite a popular upgrade and so is the banshees, As for getting your shock recharged or resprung Racetech offer a a lot of upgrade options, And so does GT thunder. The prices will vary from each company on services. The cheaper route would be to go for the 01 660 shock, That's what I would do for time being while I worked on getting all the other parts for it in working order.

The 01 660 shock is longer and has more travel but you'll still need to have is resprung if you're 400#.

who makes the best tire rods for cheap and I may need a new rear caliper and rear rotor

 

[bassf150]

Tie rods lol

 

[Beastmode17]

Are you just needing the tie rods?? Or both tie rods and ends?? Allballs make a heavy duty kit that's reasonable and so does Tusk. If you have the spare cash American star make some nice tie rods and ends. Look at ebay to get a better idea of prices. We have a Pay it forward section on here, someone might be able to help you out with some parts all you do is pay for shipping.

Yes the American star are very nice I just need the ends the rods look straight I put McMaster Carr ones on my garden tractor they are very heavy duty and 5or6 bucks each
