there is a few shock's that will interchange with your blaster..

Front- Banshee shock's is the best upgrade beside's aftermarket.

Rear- 400ex, cannondale cannible, Kfx, Ltz400, and 250R -all these are said to be a hell of alot better than the stock rear shock. The 250r shock will set your rear end up a little bit higher than the other's..They all require a little bit of work to get on but nothing to serious.

The 250R rear will bolt on with only a little modification to the lower mount.

250r front shocks are way too long.

as for the 250r rear, you can only use 1987 or newer ones because the older shocks are lionger and will jack the rear end way up. i have one form a 87, works good and raised the rear about 2", but then when i sit on it, it sags to normal ride height.
