Default Raptor lowering kit

Does anyone here have a lowering kit on their Raptor? Is it true that you are not supposed to jump with it. I had a 400 ex and it sat alot lower, and I liked it. Also I heard that you have to loose the headlights. Is this true?

don't do that.,.,,,if you want a better stance go and get an axle and a-arms, i know it's pricey, but don't hack it!

ok, you got a reply from someone who knows what he is talking about. Take his advice. Although I dont have a raptor, if I was going to change it, I would do it right and not take shortcuts because it will get you in more trouble, and will bomb the resale.
