Default Banshee shocks(front) and 250r shock(rear) on blaster??

Yes yes, the annoying kid is back with the same question. How do u get them to fit? i took the banshee front shocks off today, and tried puttin them on the blaster, the banshee shock was simply too big, and i couldnt get it to fit in. I couldve made it fit if i compressed it like an inch and a half. Seeing as its my uncles quad, im not sure if the shocks are aftermarket or not, but it does seem like the front of the banshee sits higher than most shees ive seen. how do i get the shocks to fit? What years will fit for 250r and banshee? thanks

oh, i forgot to mention, me and 2 friends compressed my blaster shocks down so we could turn the top part to adjust it. it is at the lowest setting, does this mean its softer while having more travel? or vice versa? us 3 couldnt compress the shee shocks enough.

thanks, i dunno what im gonna do yet, cause theres a sweet toomey b1 pipe on ebay ending soon for like 65, and i still need tires, and prolly offset rear rims, and on top of all that i have to get my KX up and running(suspension= ugggh!).

anyone know how this cheap, yet effective, upgrade can be done?

I don't think I would use Banshee front shocks on a blaster. I've ridden several and the front shocks are probably worse than any other quad I've ridden, including a stock blaster!

It will work, but it does take some effort. It will raise the front end quite a bit when its all finished. As for the rear, the 250r will also work but you need to make play around with the bushings to get them to fit the pins, ususally people just make new bushings that are the right size. Also the 400ex can be used in the rear, and is much better then the old 250r ones.

yes the banshee shocks do work and are an affordable upgrade, (I have had them). The shocks will take away some off the ouch that the stock blaster shocks create. They are bit tight to fit into the mounts.

Ok this might be a dumb question, but what if You had +3 long travel a-arms and got the YFZ 450 front shocks, would that work, or would the part where you bolt it up to skinny??
