I know i brought this up like 20 or 30 pages back about the warrior rear shock, but i have read some peoples posts saying its a direct bolt and had others tell me you have to make a custom bushing. So for those that have one, what have you done to it? What year was it off of if you no off hand.

I use the 250s rear shock. Haven't had any issues except I had the geometry a bit wrong and the back tire took off a hunk of my plastics after a jump lol.

I don't know much about the warrior back shock, but the fronts kinda suck.

I have some panoramic pics of mtns n stuff, but nothing of the trails... the pics never turn out the way the trail really looks. Hills don't look as steep, rocks don't look as big, etc. So I quit trying.

Because my shocks dont bottom... the plastic will go all the way down and touch the tire. Or it did until I corrected that. I had a 260lb man stand on the grab bar and push off the ceiling of the garage and he couldn't make the shock bottom. But I guess after a jump it went down far enough for the tire to take a chunk out of the plastic.

Ill have to see what i can do about finding one. My rear shock is pretty shot. I just get a lil worried about buying something like that on ebay. I hate to buy a dud.

Its a gamble, but the odds are well in your favor. Actually a guy on here found the one I ended up buying and posted here asking about it. Then he decided it looked too crappy and was too risky. I decided it was worth a $50 gamble. Added some paint and its been a good shock.
