450r rear on a 400ex

[orangeEX]

will it fit i busted my rear on my 400 because,well, i'm a little to heavy. i saw where a company offers springs for the 450r shock
for a 300lb xc rider . i've heard the 450r one was no better than the 400 but will it fit? cause i can get one super cheap !what would be the downfall of this setup if any and would the gt thunder linkage do anything for me
thanks

it's have been talked more then once on the forum, it's gonna fit, but you have to raise the air box a bit or something like that, since the canister can hit the air box when fully compressed in a jump
