250sx suspension, driveshaft question

[123-shaneomac]

I recently put the shock from a fourtrax 250 on my sx. It took me a while to make it work because i had to make some beer can shims for it. Now that i have it on, Im kinda worried about the angle it puts driveshaft at. I adjusted the shock to its lowest setting and its still a little high. What do you guys think, anyone have any experience with this?159296:wondering

I was a big SX fan but as my track progressed, I was bending rear ends left and right.

So, I bought other models. The lower mount could be lowered but if your shims are "beer cans" :lol: you may some assistance.

How much did the shock ad in terms of length??

I might add that these are finely crafted "beer can shims" made from only the highest quality American Budweiser Cans.:lol:

But seriously, It would have probably been alright without them. It was a tiny tiny bit of slack and that was the only thing i could think of short of getting some machined.

The shock added at, its highest setting, about an inch and a half. Im not really interested in moving the mounting bracket, just wanted to know if the driveshaft angle looked extreme to anyone.

i have a blaster shock in my sx. mine prolly has about the same angle at the boot, and it's been in there for about three years now with no problems.
