Default 220 lb rider, what upgrades for suspension/performance

got a 04 raptor and am doing all my upgrades at once, I have ordered bumper/nerf bars/pro flow air box/rear grab bar and am in the process of deciding on pipe/suspension....

looking at yoshi complete(what are some good complete systems, i am a noob?)

suspension I am clueless....I weigh alot and am 6'3

elka? fox? have no idea....what upgrades in suspension for my size will i notice most benefits? Only have ridden 1 time in whole life and that was the best 3 hours of my life[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

so i probably dont know any better but I am trusting your opinions...

want to upgrade my raptor....1 shot 1 kill


please advise me, got about $2500 for pipes/suspension but that don't mean i want to spend all $2500[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

best to get are elkas quad rate, go to janssen.com they have a good set up for a raptor, or try ebay there is a link for complete suspension from janssen for around 1500.00, that would still leave plenty of funds for your performance upgrades. the elkas will be set up for you weight and riding style before you get them.

probably throw on some leaf springs off a F-350 or some coils off a dodge ram..that would do it good.
