I'm going to make a "how to" post tomorrow if somebody hasnt already lol, no offense, but somebody asks this question every week .

 

To install YFZ shocks on my banshee, I had to grind the "back" or "inside" of the bottom shock mount, which allows the shocks to slant , then I also had to grind a little bit off the top and bottom of the actual shock itself. I dont know if thats just because I have powdercoat on my frame or what, but I had to grind for the bolt holes to match up evenly. Then thats basically it for the work. I used a die grinder or whatever you guys call it. (circular disc air tool). All you need to do now is put the shocks on. I reccommend puttint the bottom bolt in first, and I had to push down on the shocks a little in order to get the top to slide in place.

 

Hope I explained it enough - any questions just ask - I have used them with stock and +2 a-arms , stock was a bit of a rough ride but I find +2 to be perfect.

 

EDIT : Here is a pic , and a video if you want to see how well the shocks work.
