georgie Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 if i put a 6 to8 inch swing arm on my banshee will it like sit higher or lower?..Thanks Guys It's going to sit higher. You can get shorter shocks to level it out or a lowering rear block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabansheematt Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 if i put a 6 to8 inch swing arm on my banshee will it like sit higher or lower?..Thanks Guys You'll need a new shock to compensate for the longer arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1998BansheeLover Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 You'll need a new shock to compensate for the longer arm. Ok, would it be fine to leave the stock one on or would it sit too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) There are a some different types of swingers you can get. The straight = higher. Or a ladder swinger that will help keep it more level. The shock will depend on if the swinger was made for the stock shock length. If it is then I would talk to MATT on here and see what all you need. You might be able to just get away with just a new spring. But if your shocks has never been serviced, then its time to get worked on. You can have Matt revalve it and spring it for your swing arm riding needs. I know for one that I wouldnt put a stock shock on a +6/8 swinger with out having a heavier spring added at the min.

So Cal Suspension Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 As a rule of thumb, for anyone who is 180lbs or over, I wouldn't recommend running a stock shock on any swinger longer than a +4. Some people have done it successfully, but it's not and optimal setup. A respring, and revalve will make a world of difference. Send me a PM if you want some info on having that done. It will be well worth the investment. Trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
