Anyone know how these affect the weight bias of the atv?

I have, from two different manufacturers, heard two different opinions on whether the front of the atv gets heavier or lighter when you move the front wheels forward.

Lone Star says it makes the front end lighter. TimmyBoy Designs says it will make it heavier.

I don't really know whether it would make it heavier or lighter. I'd guess and say that it would make it heavier because it would put a little more weight out front. I doubt it would make a big difference though.

Think about it.....the weight is pretty evenly distributed. If you move the A-Arms forward, the weight will be shifted towards the back.

I have +2+1" Laeger on my quad, and they dont make the front end heavy at all. I have ridden R's w/ both, and personally i like the +2+1s the best. They tend to make the quad a little more stable, along w/ the wider axle. I would reccomend the laeger aarms as well, they have really high quality.
