this kind of seems yo be the wrong forum for this, try in the yfz section or the under 350 section, someone will have either some good measurements for the shock or would have tried already. good luck!

I would say no. A yfz shock will not work on a Raptor, but an '01 Raptor shock will work on a 300EX.

The YFZ shock has a different type of mounting point on the bottom. It is a fork style mount.

a yfz shock will fit on a raptor. but it requires very minor trimming on the top mount on the shock. in fact, i have a buddy that has a set modified for the raptor, and it makes an incredible difference in handling, ride, etc. definately a great improvement.

Are you talking about the fronts or rear shock? The fronts WILL fit with trimming the mounting brackets. The rear will not fit. It's a completely different style linkage.

my god, i need to pay attention. yup, the rear (from memory) will not bolt up in any fashion, unless you cut the brackets off and weld new ones on. but, i do not know the shock measurement from eye to eye.
