Trail riding is great with the +4. I needed the stability for the TECHNICAL hill climbs, i wasn't getting that with the stock length. Alot of riders disaree with this but it works for me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
The kit was $900.00, A little expencive, but again it solve a problem for me and trail riding. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have a Tucker +4, but only trail ride.....it's 1 of the best investments I have made on my Raptor. Bigdaddy660r, what was in that $900 kit? I bought the complete and pregreased swinger, carrier, and chain for around $650. This is before the apparant hose job "kits" came out though. Killer product and killer support though.

Jeremy Tucker is using the +1 on his raptor that he is using for mx. You wouldn't think that little bit would make a difference, but it really does. I rode it a couple months ago, and it really helped keep the nose down when you launch.

There's a guy called T-Dub racing that's building them for like $250 for any length you want. Round housing and you get a bearing carrier for $190 or so. His stuff looks real nice and he sounds knowledgable on the phone too. Out of Oregon.
