You can easily extend the axel but IMO it's a matter of multiplying the torque to the engine cases. Longer swing is the equivelnt of putting a pipe on a wrench to have more leverage. It works till something breaks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey it's only money! Give it a try and write up a product review. Might try a couple Works on that double A arm front end too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Be fun to know how a package like that rides.

as for the front shocks. I want to get everything together and test befor going anymore. you can find them on ebay cheap. I can have them valved and rebuilt for 25.00 a shock
as for the rear I might just put on a works shock and see how it is.

I've done it. I have a quad that has an LT160 front with an extended swingarm in the rear. It works fine. I did not pay 400 for it. The company that made it is out of business but CT racing has a kit very similiar but you have to modify the muffler or use theirs. They use a 12" rear works shock but any 12" shock will work. That kit was 129.
