Yes it bolts into place but it takes a little work. You have to use some spacers and the 350x shock . It adds a little over an inch maybe an inch and a quarter . but it makes a big
difference in the way it handles . I like the way my rides now .

However i just kept the stock 350x axle in the 350x swingarm. Works just awesome. The Diamond J customs relocator is a bit on the heavy side but on the plus side it is really well built and looks good too. You are going to have to get the longer 400ex or 250r tie rods due to the wider a-arms. I replaced the stock brake lines with the stainless steel double lines. It eliminates the t-junction by the steering stem and I have noticed a lot more response in braking evenly on both tires. Hope to see some pictures when your done!

This is my 98 300ex with 250r a arm and shock swap with 300ex to 400ex shock relocation bracket.hopefully soon I will 250r swap the swing and axle and when I finally finish my suspension I'm going to build a rowdy 350x motor to swap in it and spank on them 400ex guys.
