Scrambler top heavy fixes for top heavy 4 wheelers?
Aaen sells extended A arms. You can find a Dura blue axle a little wider I think. You can get wheels that are wider and have a wider offset. Plus you can get wheels spacers. You may get more used to the atv as you ride it and not need anything. That's how most of us handled it.

Whoooaaaahhhhh! Stay away from the Duracrap axles unless your Scrammy is an '02 or older. They changed the axle in '03. Duracrap will still continue to send you the old axle which wont fit. Been there, done that. 4 times!!!!!! As for putting smaller tires/wheels on, indeed you will attain a lower center of gravity, but your chain and sprocket will also be lower making it vulnerable to breakage.

Go get wheel spacers on the front if you want to BREAK YOUR WRIST AND/OR HURT YOURSELF, wheel spacers on the front will increase the leverage that rocks/bumps/ruts/logs have on the steering components,
for example (these distances may not be accurate for scramblers)
-front tires are about 6" wide
-the distance from where the wheel mounts on to the A-Arm (the parts the moves there and actually does the steering) to the outside of the tire is about 8"
so if you add wheel 1" spacers on each side, the latter distance would become 9", increasing the leverage 1/8th, and therefore your wrists will have to take 12.5% more force than they would normally take, and hurting yourself becomes simple
