Hah can you tell me what they measure eye to eye?

2smoker · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2013, 08:43:07 pm »

raptor 660 shocks work on the front of 87 and up also. just grind down upper mount of shock a bit and its good to go.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2013, 09:30:14 pm »

Banshee shock measures 14 3/4 of inch eye to eye. The stock lt shocks are better then a banshee shocks.

Yeah I was just wondering because the after market stuff is cheaper

2smoker · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2013, 09:36:40 pm »

the raptor shocks are 15 1/2". and the raptor 700 fits the rear if you dont run a airbox. just make a small bushing for the lower bolt.

Good shock are not cheap. For either quad really.Banshee shock will lower your ride height. did you ever get you a frame

LT250RWV · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2013, 09:40:47 pm »

stock lt rear shock is a good shock if its working. If you get it rebuild and get the right spring set up for your weight and style it works super well.

By the time you have a cheap banshee shock set up for a 250 it will wind up costing the same, if not more, and a lot more testing than a bolt and go shock.
There's a reason you still see 250 shocks on 250's, if there were more viable options known, we would be the first to tell you about it.
Now if you had a blaster that would be a different story...they'll take all sorts of shocks and just about any kind of shock is an upgrade LOL

However, if your shocks are trash, you're on a budget, and you find a banshee shock that's cheaper, go for it.
Any kind of shock is better than no shock, and any kind of money left over for gas is better than no money left over for gas

Just take your time you will get it back together. Parts will come you find them. Just get a 9 to 5 and you will get the money you need to fix it. It all takes time!!
