Arent they alot shorter then the raptors shocks. I remember seeing a raptor with yfz shocks once and the frame was like 2 inches from the ground in front.

They work great. No they are not that much shorter. You do have to "massage" the shocks to get them to fit. They make the jumping alot better. trapland if you need any help let me know. I can tell you where to grind to get them to fit.

I appreciate that. I'm hoping I dont have to grind much. Lowering the front a little would be a good thing in my opinion. I have the rear linkage flipped already, it would be nice to match the front. I have NEVER hit anything with the front frame, but I do take off the swing skidpate fpr regular beatings [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

How do you think that they would work with my alba pro comp arms? Do you think that it would lower it more than it would stock arms?

Don't know, but they would look good on there.
