i am toying around the idea of getting my a-arms,tie rod,cv joint, and swingarm extened to get some more lift. i was wandering if anyone else has tried this and what was the outcome. i am thinking abount going 3 inches. will i need to go the same amount on cv joint as everything else.

 

maximus,

That is really weird because I was just talking about doing the same thing this past weekend. A +3" extended swingarm from hotseat, and custom lengthening the a-arms, cv-shafts, and tie rods. Lengthening the a-arms should allow more lift in the front with less angle on the cv-joints and u-joints. I'm probably not as serious about the modification as you, but it is crossing my mind. The sky's the limit.
