400ex a-arms on 300ex??

[KrazyKeith]

Will they bolt up? I guess you would need tierods and brakelines too?? Will the 300's shocks still work?

[alexmx22]

They bolt up you may need to extend your
brake lines and i cant remember if you can use the stock shocks but i dont think they're tall enough.

what you'll need to do it

400ex arms
400ex tie-rods
i've heard 400ex spindles, hubs, and brake setup improve the handling a lot
shock relocator (you can get them on ebay cheap)
and 400ex shocks

thanks

what about the 400ex axle?

[SET THE STAGE]

i've never heard of a 400ex axle fitting but i have heard a 350x will fit

[markvette]

works can build a shock that will fit with the 400 arms without useing the shock relocator. i just put a new pair on my sons 300 2 days ago. i also put a lsr 400 ex axle in it. had to make a small spacer on the brake rotor side.

does this work for the 250x? why do you need shock spacers? to maintain stock height?

Shock reloacator??

I searched ebay but couldn't find one? I did get an entire front end from a 400ex plus the shocks. So sounds like all I need are longer brake lines and the relocator.

Can any one hook me up?

thanks,
Chris

Search for 300ex shock and you should find it. And as 300maniac stated the stock 300ex brake lines will work.

martell06- Yes it will work on the 250x with the upper shock mount relocator.

I searched on all sorts of combos with 300ex shocks. Must not be any out there at the moment. Anyone know where or who I can contact to locate one?

thanks all!

I searched ebay for "300ex shock" and these 3 came up on the first page...

edit: links didn't work... try this

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=300ex+shock&category0=

There are 3 or 4 of them on this page starting about halfway down.

Cool!! Found em THANKS!!

Bid is in.

Also, I won a 2001 Raptor Rear shock that I plan on putting on the 300. Anyidea best way to increase the length of the reservoir hose? Do I need to take it to a shop or is this something I can do myself?

No problem.

You'll have to have the hose replaced with a longer one by a qualified tech. It's not really a DIY type thing. The shock will have to be refilled with fluid and it would be a good idea to have the shock serviced(seals and etc. replaced) when/if you replace the hose. The stock hose will work if you mount the reservoir on the left side of the quad just in front of the battery. It's a tight fit but it will work.
