Will Predator 500 shocks fit our 400ex? I have a buddy parting out his predator and figured i'd take a shot in the dark and ask. Thanks.

Nope. Predator shocks are 17.5" long, 400ex shocks are about 16.5"

I don't know about the rear though...

Nope. Extended a-arms are still the same length shock, unless you get long travel. But long travel is around 18-19 I believe.

Yeah but it would be too long of a shock. It won't work, unfortunately lol.

yup. Even at the lowest setting.

But hey, your friends with the guy right? Ask him if you can see if they will work. What the hell, you never know.

probably not. The predator shocks depending on year and style are between 17.5 - and 18.5 so I thin its going to be too long or short. If it was .5 inch either way you could adjust the preload nut but anything more I wouldnt bother with
