Does anyone know of anyone making a lowering kit for the raptor? I called around and no one makes one that I could find. I want to get my raptor to sit more like the R without loosing travel, anyone have any ideas and how much lower do the tcs shock make the raptor sit and also is it lower due to sag?

KyRaptor could tell you more, but yes, it's lower due to the sag which can be adjusted with easily removable spacers. Stock mounting locations are retained with the TCS shocks.

i took one of the spacers off the shock body and it lowered the raptor about 3 inches from stock.shock mounts are the same the lower height is due to sag,they also have adjustable height like the works shocks,that you adjust by moving the ring under the top retaining collar up or down depending on what you are trying to do,(riding conditions)i was just trying to see how much sag i could get and i played around with them an sat the frame 1 in. from the ground, or i could put it up in the air like a 4 wheel drive(like stock) having owned a ohlined 310r i missed the low height and ordered these adjustable shocks

badraptor, What shocks did you go with and where did you get them and how much. Did you get the front and rear. I am also looking for a lowering kit for now untill I decide if I wanna spend the money for shocks so if you know of any company that is making them let me know. The lowering kits are L brackets for the front and a strut for the rear. Thanks!
