You good on the TIG? MIG welding it isnt the best idea.

They should have more travel/stroke than the smaller ones.

the thing is im using different a arms that use different lower mount points but have close to the same travel of 13" which is monstrous but i didnt know if there was something special about longer shocks
im not chopping and welding then the ASR and FFR use those alum spacers things with heim joints and i have to shim one side and shorten the other but im not welding them that's for sure

ya with 400ex a arms the uppers will be a direct fit but i will have to machine spacers because honda uses narrower a arm mounts but the lower i will have to shave.25 off the front side of the rear mount and spacer the outsides on them as well but i can get them in std travel and LT ad the std travel ones on a warrior make it LT and i dont have a set of LT a arms to compare on the warrior but they should give at least 13" on 19" shocks i am just debating which route i want to go because its about 300 bucks for the 19" shocks and 150 for the 16" and a local shop will rebuild them for $50
300 for 19" hell do it the ride will be so plush

I'm rinning some KYB shocks on mine from a kfx700, they are ok. I'm sure the Cam Am ds450 ones would be much better
