This is probanly a very stupid question, but I was wondering what it is that I have to do if I want to get wider a-arms. I'm looking at +2+1's right now. What do I have to do? Get new shocks? Longer brake lines? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

You could just get some wheel spacers. Thats the cheap way.

I've heard that can make your steering pretty funky though. Plus it will expose the front brakes and everything.

You would need longer a-arms, longer tie rods, probably longer brake lines, and most likely new, longer shocks.

My cousin has one of those kits that moves the a-arms mounts outwards. He just doesn't have the longer shocks yet. But I would use his kit before front wheel spacers.

The spacers and widening kit are going to be substantially less expensive though. A-arms shocks and the whole kit and kaboodle will cost a very very pretty penny. But will also perform much better.

 

Thanks for the answers. Is it really entirely neccessary to get new shocks though?

 

I think your looking for a Gorilla Lift kit but that cost a lot of money.

 

What????????? This has nothing to do with a lift kit. ???????????????

 

true but gorilla comes with new a-arms.

 

First of all, I don't need a lift kit. And second of all, Gorilla doesn't sell products for the 400ex, just the utility quads.

 

Well beside what you have listed on your list you never specified what atv you are talking about. Wheel spacer on a sport Atv, first time I herd of that but Im not into sport atv.

 

Who said anything about wheel spacers?
