If you want to widern a few inches, just get some wider rims that have a greater offset, and some wider tires.

I run ITP Holeshot XC's on ITP T9 rims, and the quad ends up +3" in back and +2" in front.

A 400 axle will work, but a spacer has to be made to tighten it up. The carrier is narrower on the 300 than the 400.

We use 1 1/2" spacers on ours and it make the rear just a little wider than the front, with the stock wheels. I don't know what wheels are available, but if you got them wider by an inch and have an inch less backspacing, that would work fairly good. Or something close to that anyways. Your looking for about 1" to 2" per side to make them even. (front and rear)

The 9X9 rim has a 3+6 offset.

Well the raptor 660 rear shock works but it has to be off of the 2001 model.. and u have 2 get a longer hose 2 mount the resivour.. But im fairly confident that the warrior 350 shock works and the hose is plenty long enouf on that bike
