It handles a lot better and is about 2 in low BUT, The shock bottoms easier,The bolt will also rub on swing arm on some raptors,it wears the shock out quicker.also you will have to get front shock to level out the ride because the front will be alot higher than the rear.

Don't do it if you are into jumping, you will hit the frame on the ground (just in front of the swingarm bolts) I bent the he!! out of my skidplate and another guy cracked his frame in several places. Where it really gets you is if you land a little short on a double (the lander has a hump sticking up while your frame and swingarm are shaped more like a "V&quot.

If you really want to save yourself, fork out the bucks for a new rear shock with sag control. Or, send your rear shock to DeRisi and they can put a sag control device on it. If you shipped it to them on Monday via courier then you would most likely have it back by Friday.

For more info, do a couple or searches on this forum. This has been talked about in great detail.
