first of all are 400ex and 250r a-arms the same length? and when you put them on a 300ex do they add 2" to each side? I know I will have to get the kit that relocates the shock mount.there is always 400ex and 250r a-arms for sale on ebay.and the 400ex shocks will work with 250r a-arms right? anybody that has done this to there 300ex tell me how it worked out. thanks

 

alright 250r a-arms and 400ex's a-arms aren't the same.I am not sure of the exact difference but the other day when I went to pick my jd +2 arms up they didn't have any in stock all they had was the 400ex arms and they said they wouldn't fit.About the relocater kit the stock 250r shock fits on the ex (I put my stock front shocks on mine)it looked very stupid and made the front end sit real high.what I would do is order a set of 300ex +2 arms (I will call the high performance atv shop and check to make sure jd makes them)and a set of 300ex shocks why do U want to put the 250r and 400ex stuff on a 300ex??

well here's the deal. if 400ex a-arms are are 2" longer than 300ex's than I can add 4" way cheaper than paying $500 for +2" 300ex a-arms.there are always stock 400ex a-arms and shocks on ebay pretty cheap. there are some stock 400ex a-arms that topped out at about $200 and some stock 400ex shocks that are at 51.00 with only 9 hours left. if I could add 4" for $350 (relocating kit is about 150) and a few more inches of travel why not? I would have to pay atleast $500 for the a-arms then have my shocks revalved. by the time I sold my Works shocks and old a-arms I wouldn't have spent much money. eventually I could put me on some P.E.P. 400ex shocks up front and be riding really smooth. seems like a good idea to me . later

 

alright I agree but I still think that a set of JD +2 arms would be better I got mine toay and they are a nice powerder coated gray and have replaceable ball joints and tie rods I got the arms and tie rods for 350 and U also have to get longer brake lines I got the fastline bradied steel ones for 125 for both.Hey U should check out my page it has sweet pic of my ex on their.

for only 350? where did you order from? I've seen their ads in dirt wheels and it said like 495 or something. it only said 250r and 400ex though.

 

I tkae thta back I just looked at the receipt and they where 425 but that is not to much difference.I ordered form gateway performance atv/jetski/dirtbike shop in valley park missouri that is where i get all my 250r stuff.If U think your plan will work go with it.But I personnaly have my doubts I hope it does work though and oh yea I asked the guy and he said they do have them for 300's.Did U check out my page.

 

ok cool.....I wish I could get more than 4" up front.maybe the 2" a-arms and wheel spacers.. cause with my wheels turned around I get 5" more and it will still tip up if don't watch it. well if I add some width to the rear I'm sure it will help alot. you have what about wheel spacer? some people say they will bend the axle. what do you think? people say not to put them on the front, why? too much pressure on spindals? I know that not true. I wonder how the wheel spacer them selves hold up? anyways see ya

 

My freinda has wheel spacers on his 400ex they work well and he jumps real high and hasn't broke anything yet.They really widen up the front end to.Andthe rear.

yea I'll probably get some for the rear here before long. I got e-mail from a guy that had 250r a-arms for $125 plus shipping. man I dunno what I should do. I'm not planning on doing for a while cause I got get new front brake pads, new clutch and a few other thing. later
