I don't mean to criticise but the diagram is off. It appears that your flipping the long rod which hooks to the frame

Okay, it's not perfect because I just looked at mine without taking it apart to draw it, but how do you figure that? The stabilizing rod in the picture is just a rectangle. How do you tell from that picture that a rectangle is flipped?

hi guys i tried this lowering method in the rear but with my stock front shocks the front did not sit low enough so i tried my friends shocks off his warrior that were almost 2 inches shorter in length but dropped the front a total 2 inches and still rides the same actually did this,now i half to find a set of warrior shocks or maybe banshee shocks will work don't have a set to compare or measure length. (with this set up the rear could even be set lower,talk about cheap set up)

Hope the other post didn't sound like I took your comment as offensive. I just need to know what it is that I need to change so as not to mislead anyone.

PS> What did you think about the water pump on your Raptor? My dealer couldn't believe how large it was for an atv. It looked pretty beefy to me as well.

that's not the part that gets flipped, it's the one connecting to the shock with 3 holes.

going out to flip my arm back over and flip the correct one, can't wait to see the difference!

dsEATER,

I kind of chuckled when I read your post about it and you said that it didn't make much of a difference. I kind of figured that you had flipped the wrong thing, but didn't want to doubt you. Oh well, now that you got it all figured out, let us know how you like it (I still haven't flipped mine!) and I guess the diagram looks a little better to you now also huh?
