how can i make my raptor more stable without widening it. if i add spacers or arms it wont fit in my truck any more and it will be to wide for my trailer.

lower it. you'll have to make or get some lowering links, but thats about all you can do without widening it. Maybe smaller tires.

Try a set of Aftermarket shocks. I put Elkas on mine and it helped it out alot.

YFZ450 Stockers. Lower about 1". much better than stock.

Flip the dog bone on the bottom of the rear shock. Dont turn it around but flip it over. Helps a ton. I had it done on the ladys and handled way better then mine, so I switched mine also.

you can buy front & rear lowering links, but, it will become wider as it sits loader (front end)

im guessing your riding trails since you dont want to widen it, if thats true shocks are the way to go. yfz shocks are a huge improvement and wont drop your quad too much... it will help with the top heavy fealing as well as absorb a lot more than the stock raptor shocks do without creating any bad suspension probs in the process like spacers and lowering shackles can. hope this helps

to wide for a truck?
my 700 is wider then a 660 and fits in my shortbox 2000 s10.
you do have to drive over a wheel well but is not a problem.
all i could think of is that you have a step side?

your suspension has an affect, as does your tires. in the sand for instance, for a raptor i reccomend the sand shark as opposed to the sand star, as it makes the raptor feel much less tipsy and you can throw the back end around much better.

wow, sorry slam i didnt see somehow your just having probs getting it into your truck lol... im surprised your having that bad of probs, mine is lower and wider in the front and rear and all i have to do is flip my rear tires and it fits. what kind of truck do you have?

I'm going to have to assume you can't jump that thing. Its WAY too low.
