i just ordered +3 a-arms from lonestar with elka quadruple rate shocks may not be the best but just get what you can afford and as soon as you widen that rappy it will handle 10 times better than stock imo

You mean everyones opinion. LOL. Well it comes down to a lot of companies. All have great suspension I hear, Works, Elka, TCS. Anything, ive only tried the works shock and they rocked. The Raptor handled like a dream.

If you want to improve the suspension, I can not strongly recommend enough widening out the Raptor with the shocks. It cost some big bucks but you will be amazed how the Rappy hugs the turf. I went with +2 A-arms, +4 axle and went with the works triple rates. I would have liked to have purchased the Elka shocks but couldnt run that big of a bill past the bird (wife). Ideally, I would go with the long travel shocks which requires you to have purchased the long travel A-arms (shock mount moved out). I got my works shocks as a birthday gift prior to pulling the trigger on my A-arms and couldnt justify pitching the works shocks when I got the A-arms with standard shock mounts. Me and the guys at the office bought our boss the Elka triple rates with piggyback rezzies for his Rappy with ATV Racing +2 A-arms and they are incredible.
