I just bought the 18.5" PEP shocks. The dude I bought them from said Laegers and JB's would fit for sure, but I need to find the new ones to find the longer shock. I think the new laegers are +2 3/4 or 3/8. Any help with finding a-arms to fit these would be great! I need them ASAP! Race season is comin up fast!
18.5" shocks will fit ALOT of A-arms, JB +2, +3, Laeger's +2, +3, Janssen Racing +2, Houser +2, amonst several others, But they have to be at least +2 and Long Travel, So you have several Options!
All a-arms designed for 18.5 will work. These are long travel shocks- doesnt matter if width is +2 or +.5- as long as the a-arms are built for 18.5" shocks. pretty much all yfz are built for 18.5 inch shocks- laeager,JD and JB make a-arms in both a-arm designs and use 17.5" shocks or 18.5"
Ok all I have to say is be careful here......Laeger's and JB Racing have made two different sets of a-arms for different shock sizes. One being there first sets, that took a 17.5" And the other being the newer design that took 18.5" shocks. Just make sure whatever a-arms you are looking at buying look where the shock mounting point is. (The one closer to the ball-joint is the 18.5" design) Keep that in mind.
Also you must be from minnesota seeing youre screen name.....I will also be racing all the motokazie races this year.
