westexgt Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Trying to put some 06 bill balance shocks off a 450 on a banshee and ran into a snag. They just don't want to fit, are the 06 shocks a different length, then 04-05's??? I know I need to do a little grinding, but they just don't want to fit at all. Anyone tried these before?

ClimbAnyHill Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 04's are shorter! You got the black 06's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westexgt Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 It is actually a buddy of mine. He is trying to put them on stock a-arms, and said they would't even come close to being the right length??? Are the 04's the only shock that work with stock a-arms? Also they are off a bill balance edition 450, I have just talked to him on the phone, so I don't know much. I just figured that someone on here as used some 06 shocks before and might of had some insight. Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) I had 06 450 shocks on my girlfriends Banshee with stock a-arms... they fit just fine after doing the mods listed in the pinned thread for "How to install 450 shocks" Edited January 28, 2007 by Ruko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
