Here's my situation:

I own a tricked out Raptor which is now only suited for MX and pits.

The wife owns a warrior which she never rides (sound familiar?). i happen to miss aggressive trail riding and will hop on the warrior now and then. i want to make some changes but only in the handling for now.

Tires
any suggestions on what works best. i need a tire that can handle rocky trails and sustain the occasional jump. the low power has me concerned about getting a tire that is to heavy. Any opinions on running with the raptor stock treads or bandits?

Shocks
i have my stock raptor shocks front and rear. would the warrior benefit with that setup.

Wider
i would like it a tad wider. i'm thinking about spacers...or off set rims? what have you done to widen a warrior.

I have the shocks form a raptor on my warrior right now. The Rear works the best but requires you to machine the linkage down or the shock will hit it. The fronts work ok but are very soft nad the front end will dive pretty good if not set to the hardest preload. Other than that they are still leaps and bounds above the pogo sticks I took off of it.

I wouldnt use the stock raptor tires unless you have a decent skid plate. They arent tall enough. I run 22" holeshots

realtor rear tires with douglas aluminum rims, gives you the width and the stablity, definitely badass!!!!!!!! Also go for the supertrapp ids2 exhaust. sounds great and performs exceptional.
