I’m running the raptors off my 18 axys. Had the shorten the fronts by 1/2” to make them work, also running offset spindles to achieve a 34” stance. Before I shortened them the steering would bind as soon as the skis were in the air. I’m also running the rear track raptor. The Center shock is too short so I’m still using the velocity clicker with a 150# spring as per TRS Tony’s recommendation. I also have a Khaos length limiter strap and have dropped the front torque arm to the lower hole. I’m extremely happy with my suspension setup. It’s very predictable and smooth in the trees. It also handles crossing ruts very good. Hated the factory setup on my 165 boost but now I love it with my changes.

‘22 850 Khaos 165 Slash
I have the Raptor Kinetics all around. They’ve been awesome. They ride plush with good bottoming resistance. They are very adjustable and can be dialed to your specs for how you want your sled to feel and react. The quick cam on the rear track shock gives you a way to add preload quick to the rear track shock if you need to keep the front end down… the front track shock is the Khaos length so if you decide to make your pro into a Khaos with new rails and limiter straps, your shock is already the right length… No complaints here, very happy with them. Suspension is some of the best money spent on a sled.
