Won a 250r shock last night so my 400ex shock is up for sale....and the spring is stripped and whatever color the person wants when they purchase the shock

Thinking the ASR +3+1 LT's...like the look of the Burgards but funds don't allow for another $200 extra
Ok here is my monthly update....got most of my parts collected for the suspension besides the lt a arms which will be ordered next week. The gussets will have the welds completely ground smooth and rounded to the frame, as well as any other custom welding i will be doing. Here is my parts collection
Measuring out at around 12" of travel with the trx 250r shock
Front shock mocked up...she's a beast
Gussets at the front so far
I wanna get everything bolted on first, cycle the suspension and make sure everything is lined up well, then disassemble and smooth out all the grinding marks and get ready for powder

Thanks bro...I'm so sick of looking at silver! I'm shooting for more color on this within the next week or so...I'm requesting my a arms be sent to me bare so i can powder them myself.
the ASR guys are pretty nice, they probably will do that for ya. And i totally forgot the 250r fronts were the length of YFZ shocks, now i know what else i can use for me next project 
. Thanks for using them! lol

Yeh I send props out to Phragle for the suspension setup...without his help this wouldn't have came about! He told me the 250r fronts are really plush...the triple rates...and are hard to bottom out.
I emailed the guys at asr and they said they could send me a bare set...but call them first so when i purchase, they will be bare with all the hardware in bags. going with all heims too for a little better articulation of the suspension

Well most of it was stripping and blasting...either glass bead or aluminum oxide grit for the darker colors of powder I'm gonna put on it. Glass brings it down to the metal look where it's much easier to polish. Forgot I got my polished axle under the table too...and these
Raptor fronts with Banshee rear 9"
When you get your arms, bolt the on wth the shocks minus springs... see if they left some on the table for you with the shock mount location 
Alright Phrag I'm gonna have to say i cannot decipher that last message...lol break it down for us slow bastards? I:I
Gotcha...i read it a couple times and was like wtf is phragle drinking tonight? lol
I believe I'll leave that shock mount alone...ah damn here we go with more custom fab ideas...dammit phragle i'm never gonna be done! haha

Well that boat is cool for the first few months...after that its like damn when am i gonna be done! Nah it's cool to get all the knowledge from doing all of this..I have done alot of trial and error on this build....more than I want to discuss in this thread in fear of looking like a dipshit
