I'm looking at buying a +2 swingarm for my raptor, probably a tucker pro, not sure though. What do you think about using the stock rear shock. I know a longer swingarm will put more force on the stock shock. What do you guys think about it? Oh yeah i wiegh 240

 

i run a tucker +6 0n my 740 with the stock shock all i did was tighten the spring a little i weigh 215

 

I'm runnin a +4 on mine with the stock shock with no major problems. I weigh 165, I stiffened the shock all the way and it still sags a little more than I'd like in the rear but nothing bad enough to cause problems. Judging from mine, anything over +4 I would say get a new shock. At the stiffest setting it still sags an inch er two more than it should even with my low weight. Your +2 should work perfect [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

so pretty much, tighten it all the way up. i like it soft though, for the whoops. how long does the stock shock last, i have over 800 hours on them.

 

The stock shocks are junk. Particularly the rear. I run a +1 1/4" with the stock rear shock. I have a 60' uphill that it bottoms on every time. I haven't gone to the extreme of cranking the pre-load to the max, but I doubt that will help. I'm just going to replace it this spring. Even on trails, cruising hard in the powerband in 4th, and it bottoms on washouts and sudden dips. I only weigh 185. What type of riding are you doing?

 

good luck, I recommend that you replace...unless all you do is drag/cruise on the flats[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

mostly sand is my riding, lots of duning and lots of drag racing. i dont ride the desert.
