There was a lot of confusing suggestions for front shock replacements, I finally got these and wanted to clear it up for anyone that wanted to do the same thing.
No, the rear seems okay to me. Not worth the cost. My nephew (12) has one and it is stock and sags horribly (in the front)... I did tighten up the preload to max (in the rear). With the upgrades below, it will smoke the stock 170. Not that my 8yo (Daughter) cares much, but I do. :) It's just my 8yo riding so works well enough I think. I did add FMF pipe and fuel tune (sounds GREAT), and dropped one tooth on small sprocket and got NICE rims and tires from Ebay. A plexy roof and K&N filter. When I first put the pipe on and adjusted fuel it backfired some, but since has stopped.
Hiya! 😃
Have you done any shock upgrades on the rear?

If I ever get time, I will try and make another video of my new stuff. I know I videoed the upgrades but will have to find the footage...
What year raptor do you get the shock from?
2003 from ebay, look at the end of the video. 1:05 in the video.
