FOX RP3 or 5th Element?
ok...on the 04 yeti 575 the 5th element is used as the rear shock. On the 05 the Fox RP3 is used. Which one is better? The reason is that I have a deal working on the 04 but is it a good deal at $500 for the frame only with the 5th element? The frame has NEVER been used...nothing has been installed on it EVER.

any other opinions...are the shocks THAT close together that either one would be fine?

Youre more than likely going to be fine with either shock. Pick the best deal on the frame. By the way, at $500 for a brand new Yeti 575 frame, I'd jump on it
Good Luck
