Did you have to adjust the rear shock at all? What about the travel of the shock, is it still the same?

Everything is the same on mine. If you look under the swingarm, all the way at the bottom, there is about a 2 inch in diameter piece of aluminum. It replaces that with a longer one, so your shock is now at a different angle now but still has the same amount of travel. You don't notice it much on the rear, but the front is a little stiffer, but you'll get used to it. You can see my picture gallery and there is a good pic of the front, but if you can't see the back, it is just as low. It's easy to put on and take off if you need to. Two bolts a piece.

1LeSSRaptor nice Raptor Bro !

Does it handle a lot better on the corners ?
And how is it jumping it low, or is it just pure drag set up ?

Thanks Baldmike. I love dem girls!!! But yea, I weigh all of 130 pounds, so I have no effect on them. I can jump pretty high with it on. I wouldn't suggest it for someone that rides hard and weighs over 150-160. And it loves to slide a lot in the corners, but the holeshots that are on there now(Not in pic), help out with the traction.
