will a predator rear shock fit on my 04 blaster?

[Big D]

some guy wants to sell me a 2005 predator rear shock and he insures me it will fit.. just want to double check before i drive there and pick it up

get Measurement from eye to eye on it and we will let you know. and im assuming you mean rear shock

^^^^ he said rear shock.

 

[acezeesawtooth]

yeah i skimmed through it lol

Just because it fits doesn't mean it's going to ride good.

Hell that shock is so god damn long!!! i know for a fact its got an inch if not more then a damn 250r shock. But the upside to it is that its a very nice fox podium =) a smooth ride but wayyyy to long.

those rear shock are 18.25" eye to eye. blasters are 15.00"

wait if its a fox podium i thought they were air shocks and adjustable to different lengths? or am i confused

okay thanks guys. so what do you guys think i should get then?? 400ex?

 

[acezeesawtooth]

86-89 trx or atc 250r rear shock I:I

okay thanks guys. so what do you guys think i should get then?? 400ex?

those work really good!

thats what i was orignally going to get but i was told that there to old and are not as good as the ex? is that true? thanks

 

[acezeesawtooth]

the 250r is alot softer and i believe has more travel. plus it has a remote rezzie so its easier to mount and fit in. just get one in good shape or with a fresh rebuild

 

[Big D]

okay thanks. just one more question. i herd that those shocks were old and not as good as the ex shocks??? true???

 

[Big D]

okay thanks man

 

[StrokedTater244]

i would say they are just as good.. the problem is finding a good deal on one that is in good shape..as said they are alot older and harder to find nice ones.
