1st look Baja shocks on my savage.

Looks killer there John!
I got to drive a Baja the other day and was thinking the same thing that they would fit. Are they they front or rear Baja shocks? Any modifications to make them fit?

 

[Larsenracing]

Thats sweet John. How does the travel compair to the stock shocks. I'm sure these dampen much better than the stockers. Looks sick thought.

I have been wanting to do this. And now that I have the FlexTek arms I think I can.

Can you go into a little more detail on your install. I am very interested.

Thanks

Are they they front or rear Baja shocks?

They are the front. The rear are way too long.

Yes John, do tell how you did it as I was thinking of trying this too.

This was the test fit pic to see if it would work. there will need to be some modding on the bottom. I will have to cut the actual ball links down some for the stock arms do to them being to wide to fit in the shock pockets. but after market lower arms will work better. they are front shocks with 5 weight oil in them. they are a hair stiff but i have a set of full rear light springs coming in to use with the dual rate parts from the rear shocks. the travel is just as good as the stock savage shocks and even with the black springs it feels plush. just a hair stiff and that is all.

Looks awsome Mega. I imagine that's an expensive conversion...I hope I'm wrong though. Either way, verrrrrrry cool!

 

[AoD]

Very slick Mega. I looks really good! How much would a set of 4 fronts cost?

 

[formiko]

According to www.davesmotors.com 2 complete baja 5b front shocks run $62. What they go for on ebay I don't know.

I notice that the SS shocks from the 5B cost more than the RTR. Looking at them it only appears the color is different. (???)
