I run offset wheels on my Raptor and I kept bending tierods so I bought the Ricky Stator tierods and bent them today just doing big jumps.

Anyone else run offset wheels in the front have the same problem.
I guess the best answer would be just get plus +2 a-arms.So before you go the cheap way to go wide figure on buying tierods.In the long run it would be better to save your money up for some wider a-arms.

hyper660r, I almost flipped the front rims on my Raptor this week but it would have added 5 inches. I flipped them temporarily just too see and it just looked very weak and dangerous for the front components so your idea about A-arms sounds good. +2,+1 should do the trick I suppose? I wonder how the handling would be...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Does coming off of big jumps with wider A-arms land any better?

In most case wider a-arms will give you more travel.
One would think if you removed the front shocks that the frame
would hint the ground ,but it won't because of the ball joints
can't travel that far.So even if you had shock with 15" of travel
you would end up snaping off your ***** at the joint haha.
