This may sound like a dumb question but will banshee front shocks bolt right onto my 2000 blaster? (stock for stock).The front shocks on my blaster are very stiff yet bottom out when jumping the same goes for the rear shock.The rear shock bottoms out so bad sometimes I scrap the frame.I weigh about 170 and run 3-4 pounds of air in the tires.I'm not doing any crazy jumps at most I'm never more than 2-3 feet off the ground yet I bottom out all the time.

Yes they fit, not 100% sure cuz I havent tried it myself, but I have talked to a guy that claims to have banshee shocks all around and they jack it up a little more.. and bolt right up. 99.8% sure...

Mr. 400EXman did you do both front and rears.I would like to do the rear shock first and then do the fronts as my budget allows also does anyone know if Banshee shocks are rebuildable.

We put my banshee fronts on my brothers blaster with no problems. It did raise the ride height. He ran it like this for about four months. He endded up snapping one of the fronts. I dont think it is because is was bolted to a blaster as much as he was too big for the blaster. We did lower the ride height a little by softening the shocks. There is less leverage on the shocks from the shorter blaster a-arms so it worked pretty well. It will save you bucks until you get money for aftermarkets.
