warrior, banshee (think) or the first year raptors.

but your best bet is prolly getting the z shock rebuilt and set up for your size/style:beer

Dont waste your money on rebuilding an old tri z shock. they wont last. (do a search if you dont believe me lol)

A warrior shock is a direct bolt on.

yeah, something about the shaft gets pitted and the new seals wont seal propely. And it wont take long for it to start leaking again.
Warrior shocks can be found CHEAP on ebay. be patient.. I scored mine for $25 shipped.

if you can run a stock warrior shock, i take it you can run a nice new warrior works shock? or maybe fox if they make one...

I got a new works shock for my z a few years back, set up for my weight and riding style. It was like going from a pogo stick to a recliner. money well spent in my opinion.
