Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll try to dig it up.

If you do find it, link it into this thread, so anyone searching on this info will eventually find the answer...

Here you go...

The info

I was interested and took a look myself, so I figured I would throw the link up for you.

Riders !TM · 08-24-2007, 08:15 AM

i found it but, cfm posted it so its all set. thanx for the help again.

NormalZ · 08-25-2007, 04:04 AM

Nah, there's alot more than that, with a butt-load of pics. I'll try to find it...

EDIT - Here's the BIG post on the LTR rear shock into the Z frame, and the pics. No way in hell will this work. I'm still waiting for some clarification from evorider11 on whether he was talking only about fronts, or fronts and the rear, too. I don't see it happening, for obvious reasons...

NormalZ pointed out clearly that the rears are a no-go. Revalving would be my best option for sure. But I didn't read much out of the LTR verses 450r shocks (fronts). I just sold the Works triple rates with rezzis off my 04. Couldn't stand the rattling and shim noise from the arms dropping comming off jumps. I have the stockers on now. I want an upgrade with both rebound and compression with out a $500 price tag. I have my son's 03 to upgrade too. What would be a better option cost and preformance wise, the LTR or 450R fronts? Didn't want to start another thread ( ? verses ? ).

The 450R shocks are closer in size/dimensions to the Z shocks, but the LTR shocks are superior shocks. I think the most economical/best performance option would be to find '05-up Z shocks and have them reworked. Second best would be the 450R shocks, reworked. In another mentality, the LTR shocks might be the best option, but it depends on how/what you ride and what you like to do.

Try to find some pics of the guys that did a straight across mountup of the LTR fronts, and it'll give you an idea of what it looks like.

Good info from Byte in this thread:

Quad82 · 08-25-2007, 11:24 PM

I have the redneck tool kit mounted up front. The rezzies pointing out the front was a concern. With the tool kit and having to fab the mounts, The 450R shocks are looking better all the time. Not having much luck finding 05 and up used Z shocks on Ebay. Thanks again for the post. D
