I have one on my 4000 and only needed to grind a small amount on the bottom shock mount bracket to clear the air valve, maybe a 6mm half moon shaped area. It doesn't effect the durabliity of the frame.  I also needed new reducers for the top and bottom since the ones it came with did not fit my frame. Also is much plusher than the NR2 I had on it.
