Has anyone changed swingarms?

I just ordered a LS +1 swingarm and was wondering what kind of a job am I getting into. Do I need to look out for anything when removing the stock arm or is it basically like any other quad? Thanks for any info.

Basically like any other quad. Let us know how the +1 works out. Also, how tall are you? Why +1?

I ride only in the dunes and want to keep the front end down a little more.

I changed from a 19" walsh arm to a 20" walsh arm. I did put in a new bolt too. It was worn and needed bearings and seals. Of course 3 more links on the chain also.

I to want to replace the swing arm, but question if the plus one is enough for the dunes, 99% of our riding is in the dunes. I am looking to settle down the front end a little. Some input would be nice from someone whos rode with both.

It will help. Look at what the other riders are doing and ask them for in put. I also have Walsh +3 front A-arms which I can adjust for stock wheel base or +1 forward.
