ok i did some searching on the forum and everyone is saying that the banshee front shocks bolt rite up. I tried installing them on my 00 blaster today and they are aprox. 1 inch larger them the old ones. I lifted the front and still had about 1/2 inch difference......What am i doing wrong?
 
My mojave shocks wich are 1.5ish" longer almost fit... I probobly could have made them fit if I wanted to. Like said above, you many have to compress them for them it fit. ( I can't see that being good for your ball joints though :o ) Also make sure your wheels are straight and off the ground when you do this.
 
u can also change the comnpression settings on shee shocks........try turning the adjuster to the tightest setting, it may compress the spring abit and help out
 
Persistence paid off. I had a buddy of mine take a nylon strap and pull from the bottom till i could fit the bolt on and it fit rite in. Thanks everybody for the advice I:I
