I am in the process right now on making a huge suspension lift for a Brute Force. I thought it would be cool to make a quad like nobody has ever seen. Only problem is while I was building the new a-arms, I noticed a weak spot that I thought I could use a second opinion on. You know how on all quads the shocks are close to the tire for strength. Well I was wondering if I should put mine farther down the a-arm to strengthen it but I dont know how I would do this.my second option is to get a all new shock thats longer and will accommedate the weight. Is this even necessary, it might not put that much strain on the a-arm but im not sure. Could you all help me. Thanks

 

I am adding 7.5in. of length over my stock a-arm length.
