Can anyone tell me what i need to know to remove my stock shocks on my raptor? Do i need to take any additional parts off to get to the rear shocks? I don't think that the front shocks will be that difficult. I can at least see the bolts on those. But the rear shock is a different beast. Does anyone know any tricks or have any ideas on how to make this a simple task?

Just tear into it man! It's pretty easy just a few bolts, but you might want to suspend your rear end so it doesn't fall on you :thumbsup:

at the bottom of the rear shock it looks like i have to remove another piece to get to the bottom bolt. Is that right or should that bolt be exposed too??

 

[Cammy]

Ya remove it too then you can get the bolt on the bottom of the shock. I believe its called a wishbone if my memory serves me correctly. Should only take you 15 mins or less

You guys are so lucky to have some dunes not so far! I swear in a couple of years I'll go on a trip in cali with some friends to ride... Here it's mud, snow, but at least we have some good MX tracks.

 

[dnm1012]

If it makes you feel any better I am like 3 1/2 hours away from them. I have only been once like 13 or so years ago. Big fun though!!

 

[Cammy]

Lol I'm only 25 miles away I just load up and go whenever.

 

[dnm1012]

Wow that is cool. i am about 6 miles away from the trails and can easily go after work before the sun does down. Makes it nice living close to somewhere to ride doesn't it??

 

[dnm1012]

Just an update i got all 3 shocks off my rappy and they are boxed up and ready to be shipped off to wiigstyle tomorrow afternoon!!!!

 

[Cammy]

Thats awesome man! I'm gonna try and do that soon

 

[dnm1012]

Actually this "awesome man" is actually an "awesome woman" LOL Thanx though i am pretty dang excited to get these babies back and try them out on the trails!!

 

[Cammy]

Ooops my bad! :lol: From what I know it will be like night and day!

 

[dnm1012]

No worries. Now i am trying to decide between the shock deal with wiigstyle or go with this LSR deal on ebay axle and a-arms for like 765.00 ARGGGGGGH Decisions decisions
