just wondering about raptor rear shock

[JDiablo]

does this lower the quad an inch,that is what i have heard,i no it helps out somewhat in suspension,but it lowers the quad how much if anybody knows that would be helpful,and if someone has some pictures of it on there 300,and can you feel the diffrence the shock makes?

[roostin_dale]

I havent rode mine yet but it does sit about an inch lower. It feels much better than my old works too.

[Out_Sider]

[JDiablo]

lol sry bout the wrong forum,so the raptor shock is better then the works shock,thats always good something better for less money,and how bout for next winter if i want to get it rebuild,will i be able to do this?

[roostin_dale]

[JDiablo]

[roostin_dale]

[redrunner]

Yes it is rebuildable, about one inch lower, feels better but haven't rode it hard yet. Not much to the install, bolts right up and zip tie the rezzie.:)

I didn't realize it lowers the quad. You're supposed to use a 400EX spring on it aren't you? Does that bring it back up?

[redrunner]

ghak99 - yeah i will probably fab up some type of bracket when it warms up.
quadfamily- I am running the 400 spring now loaded all the way, it looks like with the Raptor spring it sat up to high and was told it kinda stinks for handling. What is nice is you get a lowered quad, better handling and about 2 - 3 " more of travel!:D

[quadfamily]

redrunner, I can't find any on e-bay right now. Do you know where I can get one?

[redrunner]

I was pretty lucky to hook up with this one, not easy to find right now. I guess try bluetraxx and check ebay all the time. Put it on your title that your looking.

[bradley300]

the 400ex spring is only for really light riders (100- 140 lbs or so) if you much heavier than that, the raptor spring should work fine

[redrunner]

Hey bradley, Jeff had told me that 200 lbs. or under use the 400 spring. The guy I bought it off said that the 400 worked well until he started hitting bigger jumps, what are you running the raptor spring? What do you think about the situation?
