i have tried it. came out good. lowers the rear by about 2.5 inches. much more stable, plus it doesnt cost you anything and only takes like 30-40 minutes to do.

I have mine flipped as well. I have had it that way about a month and a half. I have had no problems yet.

I have mine flipped and just did my first moto-x race with it and had no problems. I would highly suggest doing this to lower the rear of the Raptor.

Thanx guy's I flipped it today and damn is it lower. Combine that with the Lonestar Axle and it handles like my bud's 400ex. It look's a little funny though is there any way to make it level? I put my front shocks down to the middle setting sand it's better but not great. Would new a-arms and shock's help? I'm going riding this weekend probably to the Pine Bearing's in Jersey, so I will see how I like it then. Thank you for the good advice!

Where in the pine bearings do you ride. I live in NJ and every time i go to the beach i look to see where i could ride in there.
