Taking my 174" T3 with full raptor setup out for the first time this weekend. 6'1" tall and 230lbs with gear. I just have the shocks set from factory. Any suggestions? Thanks

Id say try them the way they came from Raptor, then adjust from there.

My raptors came with one two clicks and the other seven or something like that.

Haha there you go, thought they were supposed to come on clicker 5. Starting half way through the settings at clicker 10 and adjusting up or
down from there would be a good starting point. Thats what I did.

I typically run clicker 5-8 on the fronts depending on the severity of bumps on the trail. And I lower then to 5 in the alpine so it doesn't effect sidehilling. Soft spring setting. Front track shock clicker 5. Rear track shock clicker 10. Raise to decrease ski lift

If you didn't get our tuning instructions with the shocks(some dealers forget to include them when they install or people buy them second hand and don't get the original instructions with them), please check out this page on our website for some general tuning advice:



As always, if you are having troubles, give us a call. Hopefully that helps.

10 on fronts or rears? Or all on 10?

Got my first ride on my tears this weekend. But didn't play with the clickers

10 on the fronts. i left my rear at 5 and 10 and it felt really good and was keeping up with the front. too hard to adjust anyways when the skid is full of snow

Will play with it next trip out. I've got a few extra pounds of front ballast compared to you.
