You will have to grind the mounts on the frame at least and maybe the arms, and/or shocks, as well to get them in. You will also have to compress them about an inch to get them in if the arms were made for Banshee length shocks. It has been said that the ball joints will wear out faster because the balljoint travel will max out before the shock, but lots of people run 450 shocks with Banshee arms and I have yet to hear of a balljoint breaking.

It all depends on your wallet... if you want the best, go with stuff to fit a Banshee properly. If you wana save some money go with the 450 arms. If you allready have the +2 arms stick with them... if you can afford proper shocks do it... if not go with 450 shocks for now. They are all big improvements over stock.

ClimbAnyHill Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have those 450 shocks on my +2+1 Quicksand A Arms & they sit fine. A revalve/respring will just make it better. I don't have to worry about ball joints. My a arms have heims. Look at my sig, the bike sits fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 i have the 450 a arm conversion, it performs great and looks even better. the only problem is your arms get tired after awile. there some major steering, toe in toe out problems, but if we can figure out a cure the set up will be the bomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
