01 Raptor 660 shock on Tri-Z Questions.

[puggerton03]

I read that this shock will bolt up no problema but it will raise the ride height a little. I weigh 250lbs. so I make it squat anyway. Would this shock work better for me than a warrior shock? Any thoughts?

I understand your question, and I'm no expert...so this is a suggestion. I've read where if you use Warrior links they will lower the rearend a bit(flat tracking). Now in the area of suspension Geometry how does this effect travel? I'm not sure...can you have a shop reshaft and valve it to your weight?..Yes, I believe you could at a price. Is the 660 shock better than a Warrior?...I'd think so just do to pure size of the machine it came off (plus the size of the resi I believe is larger), again not an expert.
I keep an eye open for 13.5" Custom Rear shocks on the sales sights, Clist or Ebay.....They go for around $400 used some sellers will let'em go for 3hundy but I've yet to score one for $250 or less....To send them in it's no less than $200 for a recondition...if the body and shaft are in reusable condition. SO sometimes the brand NEW built unit for $800 in all reality isn't that out of the question...considering time,$, use time at the correct size weight ect. I think at some point in a Z owners life they will all eventually cross this bridge one way or another good luck.
