i have heard nothing but good things about this switch, and foxracin is right, there are a ton of raptor owners who have done this switch and loved it. i cannot remember if you have to modify anything though, did you have to do anything fox?

You have to grind some off the top shock mounts, cut a hole in the bottom of the shock mount on the bottom arm and shave a little off the back part of the mount. Not really all that hard. Well worth it.

wrapped the rezzies in about 2 layers of Duct Tape, slid the cans on snug and then put a stream or 2 of superglue down each 1 and theyve held up great:cool:

Do you guys think that the yfz shocks would be a better investment than buying the aftermarket shocks??

the yfz shocks arent as expensive when you get them off ebay or somebody on here, i think that is the main reason, plus they pretty much are bolt on
