Has anyone put raptor front shocks on their warrior? I tried to do this conversion today and the shocks seem just a little too long. The a-arms bottom out and won't go down any farther, so the mounts don't line up right. The shock could be made to fit if it were compressed a little, but I'm afraid this will mess something up (from the constant pressure pushing on the a-arms). Anyone successfully done this before or know anything about this? Thanks for the info.

 

just leave them on the softest setting and it should sag down a little when u set down.

 

Shouldn't the shocks ALWAYS be slightly compressed? I would think it would be harder on them to be fully uncompressed and then have a harsh landing...

Furthermore, if they're fully uncompressed when you're in the air, doesn't that allow for things to losen up? I don't really know this for a fact, but it just seems that way...

I'd say just compress them to get them to fit and it should be fine. Just do what TitanRacing said and leave them as soft as they'll go.

 

anyone have any ideas on how to compress them? it's not as easy as it sounds.

 

uh, yes it is man, get a pipe wrench and turn the bottom setting thing and they will get soft, trust me ive tried this i have a 2000 warrior
