If I get a relocate bracket for the 300 will 450r front shocks work with stock a arms. Im just looking for a upgrade without spending $400.

So with stock 300ex a arms the 400ex shocks are a good up grade with the relocator bracket?

I wouldn't think it would be a good upgrade w/o a set of LT style a-arms.

The shaft travel on the 400ex shocks are much longer than the 300ex's. Either you're going to have to set your front end way up in the air, or your frame is going to hit the ground before it bottoms out.

400ex shocks are about 3" longer than the 300ex's

My 450r shocks with my diamond J customs relocater works great. my 400ex shocks i had were to soft for it. might of been bad shocks though too, or it had to much levrage on them 400ex shocks, because they don't mount at the same angle as they do on a 400ex. the ride is awhole lot smoother.

speaking from experience flip your rims if you go with
the conversion... don't believe everything you hear!!!
it handles awesome, and flies like a 400ex

so far no balljoint damage like i was told by so many

been rolling with the 250r front arms,diamond j shock relocator
and flipped rims for a year now and no problems...
ridden by my wife and every buddy whos quad has roken down at the track. my wife is about 110lbs and me and my friend
are bumping 280 ad we all love the handling,takeoffs and landing
of this machine,,, thats why i bought a 400ex...
sorry for the long post!!!! :D

well let me take a shot at your "superior intelligence"

once you flip the rims it solves the angle
...if your gonna try it , try it!

if you don't like it keep your oppinions in the "i've got plenty
of money to spend " forums
