it will prolly do the opposite of putting banshee shocks on a rappy, it will most likly raise it. They will bolt on though if thats what you were wondering.

Unless you already have the raptor shocks, go for the YFZ450 shocks instead. They fit with just a tad of modification and are worlds better.

Default raptor shocks on a banshee

I've put YFZ shocks on my Banshee.

I had to do some grinding on the top shock mount to remove enough material to clear the shock. Didn't take much.

The bottom shock mount on the lower a-arm will need to have some material removed to clear the shock on the inner side (nearest the frame).

For stock a-arms, I also had to take a piece of bar stock and a good sized hammer, and make an indention on the top of the lower a-arm to allow the shock to have enough clearance to drop into the a-arm so the bolt holes would line up. If you have aftermarket a-arms, they should bolt up without modding, as they did to my aftermarket a-arms.

Regards,
