I dunno I would like to know as well, but definitely get a steering stabiliser.

I had the precision steering stabalizer on it i felt like it made it worse though so i took it off,so i put +2 spacers on front and back both sidees ,with the normal yfz450 suspension though still not good,im going to search up a arms and suspension

Raptors, both the old 660 and the new 700 do not respond well to spaces on the front wheels. The 700 responds well to wider a-arms and suspension set up.

Wheel spacers on the front is a BAD idea. Wheel spacers on the back is OK but the rappy axle is not the strongest.

Aim for +4 axle, +2 A-Arms (stock shocks are good), Steering damper, GTthunder lowering link for swing arm, better rear tyres and bigger front tyres.
