My CR686R Pic's....
I really like the Headlight Covers. After getting used to them, I think the Raptor looks bare without them. Like it's not complete. But that's just me.
As for the lowering kit, it helps the handling of without $$ in shocks and a-arm's which are the next big mod. But at the moment, the lowering kit keeps everything low to the ground, and keeps the handling good. I'm just used to running it now, and I haven't tried to the extension without the lowering kit...yet.
As for the low profile tires....those are supposed to be 20X10X10..but they seem more like a 19X10X10. LOL. I really love the look, but with all the extra HP and torque you have to grab a higher gear to get up anything steep. Some of the old climbs I was crawling up in 1st gear, I now tear up in 2nd and 3rd. LOL. I can also leave a 3-10ft black mark from a dead stop on dry pavement! I don't know if it's more the tires or the extension, because I can throw a mean roost with the tires. But either way, they look good, and they hook up decent. So they were worth the $$.
As for the extension....it went on easy...and it definetly keeps the front end planted. It does it's job without question. I love it. It hurt me alittle on the trail hill climbs cause of the lack of traction, but in a flat out drag race...you can run the throttle up to 3/4 throttle and come off the clutch without the worry of landing on your @$$. LOL. I like it....two thumbs up to JTM.
And thank you to everyone who replied. So far it seems to be a success, and I can't wait to read more replies. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Those are the stock A-Arm's and Shocks....for now. Once I get some more Raptor Cash saved up, I was thinking about getting a Alba Suspension Kit. But thank's to everyone. It took alittle $$ but I'm very proud of my Raptor. On a side note...it is faster then it looks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
