I thought I had some pretty good advice to the topic multiple times, one person in specific wanted to banter about the facts I stated for some reason multiple times. I just try to be helpful to people in the quadracer world not tell everyone their ideas are stupid or just be plain ignorant. Don't see how a person can be a part of a "community" like this and be hating on everyone's suggestions like they know everything. We are all here to be helpful to each other.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I don't care about resale value. This is my rebuild and I plan on keeping it for awhile. Besides, if I do sell it, I'm sure the person buying it would enjoy a better ride rather then the stock pogo sticks that come on the LT. 92lt250wannabe...thanks for your input. it's been really helpful.  If you have the time to slap together the stuff and send pics, please do. Rainman56, shot me a price on your Banshee shocks, maybe we can work a deal. Eventually I will end up with aftermarket (most likely Works) shocks way down the road but, for now I need a cheap alternative to the stock pogo's that are on there now. I just had the rear shock rebuilt and it is way better then it was. Just need to match the front for a more enjoyable ride. Again....thank you everyone for the advice.

those are not stock banshee shocks.  if it fits a stock banshee it is a little short and untuned including the spring. 

works lists the price clearly at around 500 and they are tuned and the correct length. 

--------

if somebody who has mounted this and measured the castor on the front wheels i would like to banter.  but its clear to me that it has a negative impact on handling unless you know what your doing.  suzuki built the fastest flattrack frame in the world.  ignoring angle of geometry is a mistake.

believing you will save money is the only good thing.

No problem jubble, I will get those a arms on tonight and post a few pictures.

Sublanuacy- do you mean camber? The shorter the shock the more negative camber it would have, meaning the top of tires tipped in. That's what is desired, the suzuki came with positive camber from factory. Not desired. This is the want and need on stock a arms to have the camber shims. Longer shocks will tip the top of tires out (positive) shorter shocks tip the top in (negative)

Sooooooooo, of shorter shocks would rip the top of tires in just a tad, it wouldn't be a problem because it would solve the positive camber problem that suzuki had from the get go. I don't have this problem because both my quads have extended arms with camber adjustment built in.

camber is adjustable with shimsm im not concerned with that.

wheel castor and a-arm angle aswell as swingarm angle and seat angle and handlebar height are all affected.  i dont want to fight with anyone but negative zero a-arm angle is the opposite of a hot setup.

You best other option on a 250 is a Aftermarket yfz450 pre 08 or non x r . They will have the wrong upper mount widthas wiil a banshee shock but the differnce is a banshee shock is shorter than a standard Lt front shock. For a longer shock to be safe you need to check ball joint bind extended and compressed and check against shock length.
We add internal spacers to shorten shocks to correct for binding and length issues and taller or denser bump stops.
