flint Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey guys. Well i just got home from a year long deployment in Iraq. I bought a bunch of new parts while I was gone including a set of Worcks pro series front shocks off a guy on HQ. I went to put the shocks on and they are about 3 inches too long. Is it ok to compress the shocks that much to make them fit? They are going on +2 a-arms. I was told they were already set up for them so im not sure why im having such a hard time getting them on. If they guy I bought them from could chime in and let me know how he had them fit that would be awsome. I deleated all the PM's and no longer know his name. also if some one could give me a measurement on shocks for +2 arm that would be great Thanks alot any help would be great Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those shocks are pretty long if their 3" too long with ur bike up on stands with the a-arms hanging. 1.5 -2" isn't too bad, but I don't know about three. The stock shocks measure 14.5 - 14.75 eye to eye, good luck with em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flint Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well there is no way these shocks are going to fit. They are 16 3/4in long from eye to eye. IDK what they fIT I guess I will have to try to contact the guy I got them off of and see what he has to say. Again I was told that they were set up for a banshee with +2 a amrs 175lb rider and mx style racing. Hope I can get this worked out!!
