400ex ride height on a blaster

[bundyho1]

I have one on the way .I know the shock is about 1/2 inch longer but i have read that it makes it sit about a inch taller.Would like to know before i butcher it.

if no one answers your question, dont start another thread, just bump up your old one

[bundyho1]

ok will do

[Mert]

is there room to drill another hole in the bottom side of the shock? I would put it on there and try it out, then if you dont like it drill the hole higher up if you can, but i dont think it will make that big of a difference. You will have to adjust the tension on your spring cause its gonna be pretty stiff

From the pics that i have yes.I will take you advice.I will put it on first and see where it sits and take some measurements before and after.I dont want to drill out the bottom hole if im going to drill another hole an inch up ,so im going to put a smaller bolt in the bottom first and see where it sits.I have read that it is better for it to be a little lower in the back end than higher.More stable and better in the corners i think.

It will sit up higher.. but in my opinion it feels better the stock blaster shock.. specially if your a heavier guy the stock blaster shock is not all that good.

New q.
How do you go about getting the bushing out of the 400ex shock?

[fasterblaster2002]

i tried to get it out of mine, but i ended up making bushing for the shock mount. i took the old shock mount bolt out and drilled the center of it out to the right size hole, and then cut it into two separate bushing and put them on both sides of the shock.

i just got a bolt that fit in the shock bushing and welded some washers in place where it mounts up

i would jsut find a used rear elka shock for the blaster, they dont sell for that much on ebay
