Front lowering kit.

[mmajay]

I got some works front shocks and they are 16 1/4 long. What do you think of useing an e-bay lowering kit like this YAMAHA Raptor 660 Raptor 350 Blaster FRONT LOWERING KIT: eBay Motors (item 220673945349 end time Oct-24-10 12:39:58 PDT) to get my longer shocks to bolt up ?? I aint a jumping kind of person and thought this might work untill i can score some longer A-Arms.

they sell shock conversions which would be much better

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices


more expensive but stronger but those you pictured would do it as well i would assume

Bought the lowering kit but it did not allow clearance for the longer shocks. Just trying to get these longer shocks to work until i can get some a arms.

thats good to know. i was going to try this setup my self but since it will not work then i guess not. looks like the only way to use longer shocks is to get long travel A arms??????

yea u could use the shock coversion kit which allows for alot of diffrent length shocks

isnt there clearence issues with the longer shocks and the stock A-arms?

Yea, Dont buy the alluminum lower lowering blocks because they will not work and not even close. You can use longer shocks by relocateing the upper shock mount which i dont want to do in case i buy longer a arms or get a conversion like freek talks about.

so if you get the conversion kit that relocates the top shock mount you can use longer shocks with the stock A-arms? ok cool glad this is figured out. How would it ride with that set up????? any one know??

I would think it would ride much better than the crappy stockers depending on what your going to use. I am still looking for long travel a arms and in the meantime i am looking an alternative to those crap stockers , i hate to fork out 80 bux for a conversion when i plan on going the a arm route later.
