450r Shocks?
I have an 03 400ex and the front shocks are shot. My fourwheeler is alot lower than its supposed to be just because the shocks are getting so crappy. I want better shocks, so I was looking for some on ebay and I didn't know if 450r shocks would fit? I was looking at them because i know they would be better than regular 400ex shocks. I didn't know if my atv would sit weird or anything? And how do I know if i need a new rear shock? It seems fine but I just wondered.

With very little moding the 450R shocks will work.

How do i know if i need a new rear shock? It looks like its in good condition but its just as old as the fronts. And is a 450r rear shock much different from a 400ex?

Lift the back end of your quad up and drop it. Does it fall and settle smooth or is it a rough landing withsome bounce to it? The 450R rear shock is nothing impressive. I would personally see if the new YFZ450X shock will fit.
