Anyone tried this, I was think that it would be cool to have a little more clearance or rutted out trails and woods. Does this make it too tippy? I have a durablue extended axle, it's on the plus 2 setting for now until I get a-arms... some day...

good idea for the trails

i run holeshots and the added clearance really helps

also a good idea to gear down a bit when you do

In my opinion, it's not worth the tradeoff for increased clearance. Bigger 22" rear tires require more power to turn and look goofy on the Raptor. My $.02.

You gotta stop in sometime bud. Lots of great riding on the island. Since I am the only man here on this side of the island, the woman folk don't mind my loud exhaust or crazy antics either. Life is good on the island [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img].
