450r shocks on a 300ex

[scotteveratt24]

What modifications would i have to do to put 450r shocks on my 300ex i am getting stock 250r a arms? Also what about the rear shock does a raptor rear bolt right up or is there something better i can do?

You need the correct year for the rear raptor one, it has to have the remote reservoir. The 450r fronts you might be able to squeeze on but you will def need the arms, but your getting them.. now you need the upper shock mount relocator bracket. Ebay....

Get a JB Racing shock relocator. They are a little more but you are getting quality stuff. That's what we've got and love it.

with the shcok relocator can i use 450r shcoks with piggy backs or remote reseviors or will i need to use 400ex or 250r? am i going to need the whole 250r front end or can i just use the a arms and some longer tie rods?

just need arms and tie rods. I used the entire front end off a 250r. This way I could use the larger 250r brakes. If you have the means, I would by aftermarket 250r shocks or find 250r stockers. Have 450r shocks shortened??

The 450r shocks are a tight fit due to them being longer than 250r. I had to compress the shock to fit into shock mounts. I would not use them again. Also, the arms on a 450 are wider to clear the rezzies.
