Bolting on the a arms is pretty simple, you will also need 400ex tie rods, and a kit or bracket to remount the top shock mounts, 400ex shocks are a lot longer than stock 300ex. You will gain about 50 percent more travel up front, makes bumps and landings from bigger jumps a lot easier, you can trail ride faster because the front end will soak up a lot more rough stuff, and the wider front end will have you handling a lot better. Follow it up with some spacers for the back to widen it up to match the front, and it will rail the corners real nice. I also put a 2001 Raptor shock on the back of my son's 300ex, much better damping, an inch more travel, and it has compression and rebound adjustments. You will need to put a longer hose to the resivoir to get it to a decent place to clamp to out of the way, so it won't get hit by the chain or the swing arm.

Does diamondjcustoms on Ebay make something for this? He makes a lot of conversion stuff, etc. Search for diamonjcustoms under user names or whatever and look at all of his products.
