Default Extended Swingarm v. Swingarm Extension

I have ran a Tucker +4 for a while now on my mild trail riding Raptor. The front end comes up when I want it too and does not when I do not want it too.....totally unlike stock. The front end coming up too easy was the primary reason for me wanting a longer swingarm. The other benefit of the swingarm is the carrier is Honda type so the tires are perfectly straight when aligning. I used too take pains adjusting the stock set-up and the Raptor would never track perfect. Higher speed made this problem worse.....you guys running the stock adjustment method have no idea how straight your Raptor COULD be tracking. High speed is effortless on the trails. THis is the biggest improvement I have made too my quad no doubt. I really do not see switching back too stock as being a bonus with the JTM.....if you have a mild Raptor you will never go back too stock after running an extention or extended swingarm anyway. Those guys at Jaechel (sp?) Tool are making a killing selling 2 plates for nearly $300. I purchased my T+4 + carrier + chain for less than $600.....and it looks and performs AWESOME. Customer service is second too none with those guys as well. Example....I had an early design brake plate (the part that actually holds the rear brake too the swingarm) too bend on me. I call Jeremy and send a few pics....he tells me this has been updated and sent me out a new one free of charge and apologized for the downtime.. Any other swingarm companies do that?

Awesome, I think that settles it for me. I will be ordering a JTM for my 686.

Thanks for all the input guys and if anyone else has some opinions, my ears are still perked and ready to listen.

Almost forgot....my T+4 came with tabs too mount my skid plate. You are out of luck with the extension if you need a skid plate.
