They physically will go on, but you have to compress them as they are longer then the Warrior shocks, which will put a lot of pressure on your ball joints and wear them out quick, your choice.

hate to tell you but its not an upgrade..at all.

If you want long travel suspension the save ur pennies and buy a quad that comes stock with long travel..a Predator was my choice but also a DS has stock long travel..Honda and Yamaha's 450's DO NOT come with long travel.

I havent rode a 450 Suzuki yet.
