Default Raptor aftermarket suspension and axle??

This coming winter i want to break my raptor down and put a wider axle on it and also want to get elks or works shocks or any aftermarket suspension.

Does anyone have any aftermarket axles or shocks on their raptor right now that they are or arent happy with that could share info with me. Also if i have the money possibly going to do A-arms, pros and cons of that too please.

Thank you.

how does it ride compared to stock?

Can you haul through rough trails without alot of rear end bounce?

What else do you need to get with the +2 a-arms and shocks?

thats a awesome pic first off. thasts a crude a$$ vagina wedgie, or as we call it a "veggie" depends on what kinda riding you do, even though now a days they will set you up for whatever riding you do, however other do excell in areas. im runnign wicked +2+1 arms, adn a +4 swingarm on the g-force axle, i aboslutley love it, it make my raptor ride like a cadillac, on im on stock suspension my girlfriend love the set-up also, she like her shocks set up hard and i prefer soft.

LOL........................"veggie"............... .....i love it.....ive never heard that before. seriously laughing my ars off here at work 6:30am. thats some funny stuff to make me laugh this hard this early in the morning.

your pics nothing to turn away from either, just wish we could make these pics bigger.

thanks for the info, i do alot of trail/sand pit riding. however the trails around here are sled trails and they are all fairly wide.........well wide enough to fit the trail groomer down in the winter, so width isnt an issue to me really, i just want a wide stance.

how hard are the axles to change?

also, when you get +2 a-arms what else do you need to get with them when you put them on?

thanks
