I believe JTM makes a 2" and 4.5" for atvs. I'm not sure if the 2" is availible for the raptor though. I would suggest just having a shop weld an extra 2" into your stock swingarm.

They only make the 4.5" and for the money you will not be dissappointed. I bet once you have the +2" you would want a little more.

The 4.5" is nice...really nice. But not helpful on the drag track.

I think if you spend time racing friends, and riding trails and dunes you will love the 4.5" JTM.

Are you talking about a dirt drag track? I can see how on the dirt it would make the tires unload a little more, but on the sand it is great for dragging!

Hey Maddog - What Shop do you know that can weld in an extension?

I'd think it would be hard to get the presision of getting it perfectly straight?

Give me a Name And, Number?

I had a friend of the family do it for me. Its very true and stronger than stock. The only problem is that my skid plate wont bolt up anymore. Any good aluminum shop should be willing to take care of it. I really dont know where to tell you to go aside from that.
