Default Lowering a raptor

My ridding buddy bought a used '02 raptor that was already lowered. Instead of using the yfz front shocks there is an aluminum kit that bolts on to the a-arm to move the shock farther down. Very simple and clean. As for the rear, he also had a coupling that looks like stock, but it is about 2 in. longer to move the shock farther back. He hated the set-up cuz he's fat and was bottoming out easily on jumps. I called him up when i read this and he said he'd sell the kit for$25 plus shipping if interested.

Do they sell this kit new. If the kit is in good shape, I'll take it. Let me know so we can make arrangements on the shipping.

I looked in Dennis Kirk, they have them for the front only made by Dura Blue at $69. My friend has no computer so we'll have to go between us. If you want to give me your e-mail we can start ahead with the details. i'll check back by 9.00p tonight and post a reply if you leave your e-mail. I'm not sure if you can come back in and erase it or not after that, i'm new to this forum stuff.
