bk_banshee Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 hmm ok....I will be running +2 arms tho will that help? It depends on the mounting tabs if you can run the shocks Do you have long travel or stock lenght shock a-arms. There is a difference. You can install the YFZ shocks on OEM banshee a-arms if you have the shock a bit. I have some aftermarket a-arms where the mounting bracket has some extra height to it which allows the sock to clear.

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Raptor eyes [shock mounts] are very slim like stock Banshee shocks, YFZ's are bulky which is the reason for modifying onto the Banshee. Raptor shocks are longer & think it's a bad idea putting expensive shocks that are too long onto the Banshee stock arms. I'd see Dan first for that TCS setup he has before anything :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
