is it safe to jump a raptor with a 4" ext. swingarm?
 
well i am going to be trying my new swingarm out this weekend and was wondering if it is still safe to jump with the new swingarm.i am 260 lbs so more stress is placed on the swingarm but when i do jump it is maybe four to five feet high at the most so it will probably not be a problem.i have a dura blue axle so that should be strong enough but the stress points with the new swingarm have got to be way different.at almost 45 years of age i shouldnt be jumping at all but when the sand gets real soft in the summertime i just cant seem to help myself if you know what i mean.my first experience jumping the raptor sent me at least six feet in the air because i thought pretty much wide open in second gear up a 4 or 5 foot lip wouldnt do much but it sent me straight up and yes straight down.anyways i just wanted some opinions on jumping the raptor with the extended swingarm so if you have experience with this i would like to hear about it.
