just flip your rear linkage....... it will drop ur hind end like 3 inches, and wont screw up your travel. i dont think connecting it directly to the swingarm will help... it may screw up ur travel and stuff

If you lower your machine you will have a lower center of gravity which will make the quad feel less tipsy in corners and it will handle better.

If you remove the linkage completely and connect the shock directly to the swingarm you will not be able to jump, you wont even be able to go down a trail. I tried it for Ice racing and the raptor squatted so low that the shock cracked and destroyed my airbox. Dont do it.

it is really easy to flip the linkage, just take off the rear skidplate and take out a few bolts and flip the piece that the shock connects to, ive done moto with it flipped and it doesnt hit or anything, and it is a quad hunter on the track...if u need help with flippin it, i can help ya step by step
