[@DirtObseXXion]

Nice job dude!! Wanting to do the same thing, but I want to hear what you think of the Alba A-arms first.. Lot's of conflicting info, I kinda want to bite the bullet and go Houser or JD.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I'll drop a review in about two weeks... After the ride at Croom I'm convinced they'll hold up long term, between the wreck and at one point when I rode down the side of a hill and hit the ground at almost a 90 angle the A-arms remained intact! There's one or two things I don't like about them but overall a great buy I think so far!

[@michaelosullivan8288]

I have a stock engine with FMF powerbomb header and lexx mxe in mine thats all Ive put on most alba racing parts in mine then all need is new tires and rims with shocks then be all set back out for riding in trails at dunes and beach fun

[@ononewheel7]

Nice! Now spend a few bucks on those shocks send em out for a respring/revalve for your weight unless you wna spend the big bucks on aftermarkets but stockers w a revalve actually work pretty well theres quite a few top GNCC riders running bnrs stockers i actually still use a stock rear shock but bnrs revalve w his xc link and it works killer! I do run his custom fox springers up front used to run the fox evols for years!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Bro I really appreciate the insider info coming from a racer! I never thought about that before, but I'll have to get that done 👍 Financially I'll need to keep these and just get them set for me.

[@ononewheel7]

QUADNATION 929 i think its around 400-500 to have all 3 shocks done from bnr so vs after market shocks fronts alone are like 1700 revalves are a great affordable option the the ride quality is night and day! You could also find a deal on used shocks but those may need a service b4 reusing which will add added costs so something to think about!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

@@ononewheel7 that's not bad pricing. Definitely more affordable rather than buying new. I have to focus on the big three first and then I'll work over to my shocks but that's definitely something I'm going to look into. Thanks!

[@ononewheel7]

QUADNATION 929 suspension work makes ya faster not the big three fyi haha Whats the point of adding power if your out of control! Best money to spend is suspension first trust me on that you can add a pipe and programmer your not gna gain much off that but if you start getting into head work/cams/custom tuning etc youd be better off doing the suspension 1st!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

@@ononewheel7 no doubt your right, but personally I'm tired of the stock exhaust sound. One of my buddies in my group just put a slip-on on his Raptor and it made it so much more fun hearing that exhaust. So now I got a serious itch to make mine louder 😂 But trust me once I make my quad louder I'll focus on the suspension just like you mentioned.

[@cheesefarmer3545]

Man that quad is so easy to work on. My outlander is such a pain it takes an entire day to do an oil change because the filter is blocked by the foot wells you have to take off that, the panel above it, and the fenders to the left and right of it. So like 50 plastic push rivets.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

[@raptordan6851]

[@tjordan4436]

Hey man! Awesome video! I just picked up my 2022 Raptor 700 and was looking to do some upgrades to make it a little more stable on the trails and to help lower it a little for a lower center of gravity for hill climbs. Doing the A Arms, did it help make it better for climbing hills?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I haven't done enough Hill climbing to really be able to voice an opinion on that. I will say going with wider Aarms definitely helped with the stability of the quad going into corners and donuts and that sort of thing.

[@parsonsoutdooradventures907]

Great Vid will make it easy for someone trying to do this 👍 Alba's needs to put the gussets in the corners of the top a arm just like the stock ones IMO

[@cass8144]

You know they have fitting on the arms to fill them with grease right?

[@Mikesnextadventure]

The raptor looks awesome man, quick question. I’m looking to do the same thing but with the Lonestar kit upfront And trying to debate if I should just throw spacers on the rear or if I should do an axle. I am 5’10 185 and do mostly doing but some desert and forest riding here in Arizona/Glamis. How have the wheel spacers held up for you? Any noise or rideability issues? Any help to lead me in the right direction is appreciated as I am a side-by-side guy who is getting back into riding quads again lol I’ve been out of the game for a while.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Thanks I appreciate that brother! Also appreciate that you value my opinion! Lone Star A-arms are some of the best you can buy so you're definitely going to be happy with that setup. As far as the wheel spacers everything has been good I haven't had any issues with them. I've exposed them to some of the harshest conditions by jumping the raptor and popping the clutch on pavement. They have not failed or caused any annoying sounds. If I had tons of money I would probably just go with a wider axle just because it is one less point of failure however on a budget the wheel spacers are definitely a win and I would say go with it!

[@Mikesnextadventure]

@@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL nice, yeah I want the stability of my old Yfz but I love the raptor, a combination of both would be nice and I think this is definitely the way to do it!

I know it’s been a little while now. What do you think about them ? Oh and did you put 2 inch spacers on the back to make it even with the front or is it 1.5 on each side ?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I've had them on there long enough to where I feel they're a great product! I love the difference in handling, the sexy stance, and quality to where I would never go back. If I bought another Raptor today first thing I would do would be install another set of Alba racing a-arms. The wheel spacers have been on the back axle since I installed the a arms and they've held up well. I have 2-in spacers on each side and I've had no issues with my axle or hubs. If you're on the fence or thinking about getting these they are definitely a great product! 👍

Can you provide a link with the parts

[@OffroadOutlaws]

Are you still running stock shock set-up with extended a-arms? If so, be careful! That extra leverage is too much for stock shocks, and can bite you in the rear end if you go hard. Not hating, just speaking from experience! Look at my crash at Live Oak. That a-arm broke, because Jogaca Suspension took my money, but didn't actually revalve my shocks!(DON"T USE JOGACA!) DRC Suspension is in Jacksonville, and they do an awesome freak'in job! Tell Conrad we sent you, and he'll hook you up!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I appreciate the information first and foremost 👍 Yes I'm running stock shocks. I didn't notice them going beyond their limits while hitting the hard whoops at Croom in fact I thought the quad handled well but then again that's not to say they weren't going beyond their limits. I'll pay more attention to them and look into the upgrade. 👍

[@OffroadOutlaws]

@@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL You wouldn't be disappointed with DRC! I got away with the stock set up for a while too, but when they decided to give, it cost me a lot more for repairs than it would have to just go ahead and upgrade. I'd hate to see that happen to someone else! Took me almost a month to recover after that crash! That may have been a contributing factor to your crash with Pete.....too soft on the front corner will allow the rear to get un settled, and come around. Just trying to look out for you too Bro! Wish you the best going forward.
