This may have been asked before but did they change the shock length or eyelets at all on the RAS 2 or rear suspension on T3s?

I'm want to get a set of shocks for my 14 but how much I spend depends on if they fit the new front end and still fit rear.

Anyone put some shocks on a T3 yet?

Checked the fiche online and the rear and center from 14 to 15 stay stay the same on a 163 but rear is different # on 174(could just be valving) and the front of course is different # on T3 from X fronts most likely again due to valving.

So if guys already have fronts mounted the rears should work too.

Phone Daryl Baker at Racers Edge 403-254-8686. He is installing them on new T3's and said there are some differences in the rear skid between the 163 and 174 as far as mount points and shock placement. He should be able to answer all your questions.

I just bought a set of raptors (and got set up as a dealer for my area). Jake told me that everything is the same except the rear shock on the 174. It is a little bit longer. But he said that if I were to upgrade to a 174 they can do an exchange so it doesnt cost that much to upgrade.
