What did you do to your Raptor today?

[r00st]

The high ground clearance arms dont make the quad sit higher...they will sit just the same as any other LT arms, but the arms themselves are bent, giving more clearance there (a couple of inches).

One thing i did notice was there is a solid 2.5 inches of static sag....When jake's "petite" frame gets on it, it goes down another inch+ at least.I prefer a little less sag, so I plan to bump my spring preload collars down a little to leave the arms a little further up.

we w2ill mess around with them we were kinda pissed at your last night i will prolly bring it up a little bit as well

that's what I was thinking, to me it almost seems as they are standard travel shocks with long travel arms 

If it were a standard travel shock on long travel arms then it would sit very high if you could even get it to mount up. 

standard ones are longer than long travel?

Thats not what I said.  Think about it.  If you put a shorter shock on the arms would sit way up.  You would have to lift the lower arm to get it to attach to the upper arm.  Its not going to happen.

I did think about it... mount the shocks to the top tower... they are shorter..... meaning you'd have to pull the arms way up to mount making the quad sit lower and have a lower profile. It's the whole reason people use shorter shocks for flat track racing... because it raises the a-arms up in turn making the quad sit lower.

Ok i pictured what you said in my head and that makes sense.


I think all Jake needs to do is adjust the shock and it should look much better.

[dabigbratj]

yea we are gonna set them up here soon

Installed Tusk nerf bars and ESR Temp Gauge.  Both look great!! 
(pictures to come soon)

[dabigbratj]

First pic is with no rider and 2nd is with rider we set up the shocks more to how i wanted them these are still not the best pics but much better then the other one.also looks like the 2nd pic was taken a little higher then the 1st but over all it is at least a little higher then stock let roost chime in sense he was here tonight working with me as you can see in the 3rd pic



his quad decided to fight us in any way it could btw maybe we will make a write up on how it was a pain

[socalrappy700]

Could someone hook a brother up and post the pictures.  The man has them blocked.
