Default Rear shock for a Raptor

What is going to be a good upgrade shock from stock and be the best value. Where can I get it. I ride dunes, allot of drags, hills and flat with lots of whoops.

You can have your stock rear converted to a TCS with zero preload for $380.

Your best bet is something wth "zero-preload" or SSD (Elkas). It will let your raptor sit about 3 inches lower. That will help your start in drag races by keeping you from wheelying as much. The cheapest way to do this is to have TCS or Elka redo your stock shock to make it a zero preload type and they will also set up the compression and rebound and spring stiffness to your weight and riding style. A better, but more expensive method would be to just go buy Elka shocks. I have had mine for about 18 months and I will never ride anything else. Period. Love em.
