thank you

 

I have run both JLAtv extenders & ATVRacings +3 A-arms. They both work, but the A-arms are by far better & lighter. I also have a very hard to find set of A-arms that are no longer available. Feel free to email me for more info. Abcdhyatt@verizon.net

 

did any of those a-arms give you more travel?

 

If you achieve more travel, the positive camber would be drastically increased.
With extended arms/spacers and stock shock travel, the camber goes way positive as is (wheels tip in at the top wehen the suspension is loaded).

 

A-arms can get here

longer travel shocks here

 

I went on and on...Sorry..
I'm just going to butt out on this one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

stock front wheels cannot be inverted w/o some sort of spacer. i tried it on mine
and the valve stems make way too much contact with the brake line bracket and
would probably tear off or split. i bought 2 wide ride kits from the lt80 hop-up site
and they work real well, and are alot less expensive then the a-arm setup.

 

Please listen --- LT80 & I are both trying to give you the FACTS. Spacers and extenders will give you more wheel travel, but NOT more shock travel. If you could move your wheel out another 10", you will gain wheel travel but NOT shock travel, you will also start encountering other problems such as losing overall ground clearance on your frame. You have to be able to relocate the shock & go to a longer one to truely gain any travel. Those "WideRide" products, (spacers), are primarily for stability. The LT by nature is a very narrow quad. These will help for that. Problem with all spacers & extenders in the front is you start tampering with the geometry of the bike. The most proper, effective way to correct width/travel issues, is with extended A-arms which moves the pivot point of the spindle outward. Some A-arms also relocate the shock mount so you can run a longer shock....

Good Luck

 

Thank you guys for your help, I now understand what you are saying. I got a little confused. I am going with the a-arms for sure and will update to a good pair of shocks a little later.
Did you guys do anything to widen the the rear axle or can i get away with buying a wheel with a deeper offset?

 

IF your not putting this thing in the air - stock rear axle will be fine. Save the money and use different wheels or spacers..... MMATV - call me...
