Ya, I decided not to lower mine because of the problems I heard about it so I just ordered a 4" extended durablue axle and OMG it worked wonders! I haven't had one problem with tipping since I installed it! Just thought I'd throw in that idea.

as long as you dont jump the lowering kit will be fine, i run a durablue kit for the front and a durablue strut for the back , the front hooks up to the top shock mount, and im in the process of making a custom front lowering kit for the bottom shock mount, you can get a durablue lowing kit from,www. magicracing.com

I have a buddy of mine who know's how to drop the rear end...and I'll talk to him and get full details and a descriptive way to do it for you guys. I got my lowering kit off ebay. CFM Lower Kit is what I got. But there is a couple others on EBay that you can bid on, or just buy. They are on there a lot.

With the CFM kit, you get 2' wider, and 4' lower in the front. By dropping the bolt in the rear you drop 4'. All and all...the CFM kit was $55.

You can order the front kit from Durablue for around $70 off Rockymountainatv.com

But like I said...I'll return with the details about dropping the back of the Raptors.

just unbolt the rear shock linkage on the bottom of the shock, flip it over, and put it back on.

That is how it's done. I knew it was something like that, but I wasn't sure.

That with the CMF Performance lowering kit, will drop me 4' in the front, 4' in the rear, and make me 2' wider in the front.

The cheapest way to lower a Raptor is to install front and rear Banshee shocks on your Raptor. I think it will come down two inches.

I don't know...$56 is pretty cheap to drop 4' in the front and rear.
