pics of shocks?
The yfz shocks do fit on stock warrior a arms, the problem is that they are much taller than stock. The longer shocks can potentially cause problems with the ball joints because the a arms over extend when the weight is off the front end. Kind of like putting long travel on a stock front end, it doesnt work right.
But many people have gotten by without problems and loved the results. So I'm glad you got it all taken care of and I hope it rides as well as you hoped.

yfz shocks are longer than raptor shocks, raptor shocks are about 2 inches or so longer than warrior shocks. Anytime you extend the shock length without a long travel front end you put more strain on the ball joints. That said, the strain is not always severe but the longer the shock you put in the more stress it puts on the joints. Raptor shocks are soft and will compress somewhat more than a yfz shock, but they dont have as much preload adjustment. I've not heard of any individual issues with raptor shocks and it will be less of a strain than the yfz shock so I wouldnt worry too much about it. I wouldnt worry a whole lot about using yfz shocks, but I would keep an eye on the front end and check it before I go riding.
