Default swing arm extenders

first off i have a 05 blaster witha few mods (dont feel like listing) and i was looking at extended swing srams. while looking i found a link to a place that you send your stock swingarm to and they weld on a 3 inch peice or a 4 inch piece you pick. and its only 175 $ with shipping. would it be worth while to get this or a whole new swing arm. keep in mind i dont have very big pockets if you know what i mean

If they guarantee their work it may be ok. Why do you want to extend your swing arm? By doing so you add leverage to your rear end which will make your shock soft. You may have to get a stiffer spring to get the same performance that you have now.

i am doing this because as i keep adding more parts the front end likes to lift up more and i live onvery uneven land so its full of hill climbs
the shock issue is solved with a kfx 400 shock that i ordered today

I hope it works out ok. You'll need a new chain and a new brake line.
