I'm in the same boat with my raptor. I'm looking for YFZ front shocks as a somewhat cheaper solution than aftermarket shocks, with a little grinding they will fit on a raptor. I am getting a stiffer spring for the back of my raptor tomorrow, hopefully that will be ok for a while. I had works shocks on my old warrior and they blew out right away when my friend landed on a small uphill after a medium sized jump, they fixed them for free but F that. I want Elka's all around. Ya it's not fair that a YFZ lands great from the factory..., but i do like my raptor....

 

What would be the ranking of Suspension makers and, what is the least i can get by with?
