Mullet Man Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 sure it'll work, why wouldnt it? of course its not ideal with stock shocks but its useable, albeit best on a flat track/TT course, or plowing driveways. :biggrin: definately need longer shocks! should be relatively easy to do if you are handy with a MIG and measuring.

Ace_Cobra Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 i wasnt sure the shock would fit because it would be too short... i know that is not the best but i'll buy better shock within few weeks.. MIG,TIG,ARC isnt a problem for me and i have all the equipment in my garage thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well go for the better package from the start, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that, you NEED longer shocks than the stock Banshee shocks. I put 'em on for grins since I gotta wait on new ones and there was like 1" of travel. Not wueno. At least for much beyond the driveway or front yard (OMG a curb, turn! turn!! :ohmy: ) On a side note ya might PM Meat, he used to have a frame kit for converting j to a...
