Default Raptor extended swingarm????

I was wondering if anyone of you guys can help me? I have an 02 660R and I was wondering how much of an extended swingarm I should get. I have problems goin up steep hills with it wanting to stand up. I was told 2 more inches would help keep the front end on the ground when climbing hills. I also take it through the woods so I dont wanna make it unmanuverable through the trails. Any imput????

Try looking at the JTM extender for the stock arm and see how that works for you. A lot cheaper then getting an all new swing arm. It can be removed but is 4" extention I believe.

That is what the JTM extention does. It bolts on to the factory arm. It's easy to do I have had one on mine for a few years now. look here jaeckeltool just add .com

i would have to agree with Dfitz, just add one of those it will do fine for trail ridding, but if you still want a swing arm i wouldnhave to say look at t-dub racing, they make some good ones. once i get the money that is what i am going to get

Yep, I had a local shop weld another 2" into an extra stocker I had and it was a huge improvement in handling both in a straight line launch and trails. I've seen longer extensions, but they start to get really heavy after 2 or 3 inches.
