Default Blaster Rear shock on a Raptor 350?

Will a Rear shock off a Blaster work on a Raptor 350/warrior? I think the the Raptor length is 11 3/4(its hard to measure so i'm not sure) and the Blaster length is 14 something. Will the shock work? I dont want the rear end to be way up there. I can have someone machine a different Linkage/J hook for me if that will help.

That's like taking the shocks off of a Pinto to put them on an Escalade. It may work, but that shock was not designed for it. Remember a Raptor 350 is longer and heavier than a Blaster. Even if you found a deal on a Blaster shock, I would stick with the 350 shock, or if you want to upgrade get a shock from a 660 or better. I would say a Blaster shock would be a downgrade, even if it was a Works or Elka.

Why would you want to do that? Blasters are known for there horrible shocks.
