hey tyler i started blowing tie rod ends left and right w my spacers.. maybe they were cheapos' i dunno but ever since i took the spacers off i havent had a problem... you have any problems like this?

No i never had a single problem with the tie rod ends with spacers. except when i redneck engineered a front end lowering bracket, but that had nothing to do wit the spacers.

ok tyler, i dodnt know that, good thing you mentioned that, but i thought they were all the same 01-05, whats the diff, rezzy placement

Ya sorry didnt mean to sound like an ass when i sad that lol but ya 2001 is the only year that the raptor 660 didnt have the rezi mounted to the shock, therefor you can use the 2001 shock and mount the rezi wherever you want.

ok, i think i see now, some have the rezzy attahced, others have it liek the warrior, heres one that should fit right?

Ya them will work but i wouldn't buy the one in the first link it may just be the angle of the picture but with the shock just laying there the spring looks like its compressed which makes me think something might be wrong with it.

you gotta use the 1.5" spacers, yours were probably too much

IDK man cuz i was running 2.5'' each side= 5'' all together and i never had that problem.
