who knows who makes good a-arms for the Raptor. I did not see any on the site for Lonestar and could not find a site for Timmy Boy Designs. I saw those in a ATV Action mag. Also does anyone know if the stock shocks will fit on after market a-arms as I broke one of mine and I am thinking about wider a-arms but don't want to spend the money on shocks yet.

The LoneStar A-Arms are a higher quality unit than the TimmyBoy. Originally I ordered the TimmyBoy but he delayed me for so long I cancelled and bought the LoneStar. I do not regret it they are stronger.

The stock shocks will work unless you extend your A-Arms. The extra length on the arms will soften the shocks and will bottom easily.

Blue Raptor: TCS Shocks, LoneStar A-Arms +3, DuraBlue axle +5, Fastline Brake Lines, Big Gun Pipe, GYTR Silencer, No-airlid, DG Bumper, Renthal Bar, 42t rear, 12t front, front grooved car tires(19x6x10), Rear turf tamers(18x9.5x8), Reinforced wheels,

jad,
Do not be swayed by the comments of a bitter person. There is no such thing as a "higher quality unit" than the TimmyBoy A-arm. One needs only to own a set to know this. Yes, the waiting list is very long, due to the product's popularity and TimmyBoy's refusal to mass produce.

If you're short on time or money, or you don't race, consider the Burgard's. For recreational riders, the caster adjustability of heim joints is overkill. Plus, you'll save the expense of the high-cost Warrior ball joints that some arm manufacturers use.
