Both bikes use the same a arms and the shocks are the same length,the only thing Im not sure of is if the spring rates are the same.I would think they would be.

yes they are the same but i wouldn't go with those shocks they suck i had them on my 250x for a while and every jump i bottomed out and it was a horrible ride!!! you should do what i did and go on ebay and buy a shock conversion kit type in 400ex shocks or something like that if that doesn't work the go 2 DiamondJcustoms.com and get it there its like 90 bucks and then the price for 400ex shocks... or you can do what i later did buy a kit that comes with everything i named and then +3in on each side A-arms extention brackets for 210 i messded up and bought the shock conversion kit first and then found out abou the other kit for everything so i payed 160 for the other kit the kit comes with the tie rods and everything but you will need 400ex +2 brake lines for 62 bucks + shipping and handling


hope this helps

I need to do my son's 300. Can you tell me where you got the front end kit you mentioned? Stock suspension stinks!

if your talking 2 me then go 2 DiamondJcustoms.com and that should do it the shock conversion kit it like 90 and the A-arm kit with the shock conversion kit also is $210 its well worth it!!! it comes with tie rods and everything and you can use your stock break lines also just take the clamps that hold them down

if that doesn't work go 2 ebay and type in 400ex shocks and that should work

Thanks 1988. I did mean you. I should have been clearer....a fast reponse too! I'll check it out. I assume I will need front shocks for the 2" extensions as well........correct? So that would be 400ex front shocks for a 2" a- arm extension...........

yes you will need 400ex shocks and the kit widends you out a total of 6inches so thats 3 in on each side well you have the opption to go 41/2 inches or 6 i went 6 and im happy!! make sure you tell them what you want so they sent you the right tie rods
