Put the money into the Banshee. Stock suspension does really suck. I remember my arms rattleling all around but no more. That's why we have many options to upgrade. I spent about $700 on Shocks-A Arms-Axle & now take on any terrain no problem. Rear shock is still stock but will eventuall send all shocks to TCS for revalves. I rode this Raptor, has lots of power & the suspension is as smooth is my Banshee.
