Default HITTING JUMPS WITH THE RAPTOR

i have had my raptor now for about a year now.This was my first quad pruchase which i believe was a mistake because it gives me the impression that the raptor is a quad that pro's use.Now i ride with a warrior and a banshee and i was wondering,is the raptor really made to hit high jumps and freestyle as the banshee does? I know it may sound dumb but i was wondering because the front suspension is very delicate........Also the stabilizers everyone is talking about for the raptor which improves handling etec.What is a good brand i can purchase with not too much pain on the wallet? Thanks

I got some
High lifter wheel spacers for around $70 for the 1 1/2" spacers & they made a big diffrence!!

I went to the dunes last weekend & the diffrence was very noticable!!

I recommend a Denton steering stabilizer. Once you ride with one, you won't ride without one. They are over a hundred bucks. When you start to bottom out your shocks, you are pushing the limits. I am no freestyler but I like to catch some air occasionally. I think a Raptor has a better suspension for this than a Banshee.
