Run 22" tires in front since the shees are front heavy Sent from my VS810PP using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrghustletrees63 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Run +2+1 a-arms. It can make the front sit lower if your shocks are set up that way, and lower "sag" in the front isn't a bad thing and can actually increase handling. Travel, I guess you are asking about long travel and standard travel. This just means the a-arm use a standard length shock or longer shock. Okay and oh i see now. And wat are the gains out if long travel and normal Sent from my LGL15G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrghustletrees63 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Long travel means you will have more wheel travel. Right now, you can get a decent long travel front end for around $390 for a-arms (JDS customs) and $950 for stage 3 elkas (ATV galaxy). Standard travel is $280 for a-arms and still $950 for shocks. It is worth going LT if you can. If you are buying used, just search around. Make sure if you get LT a-arms, you get LT shocks for them too.Fersure man thanks ill deff keep my eye out Sent from my LGL15G using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question, do you know how much extra wheel travel is gained from running a lt setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage_kage Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 ill just throw this out there because i did it on mine, with a +2 +1 front end made the wheel base +1" longer, so if you wanted to keep a stock wheel base you would have to shorten up the swingarm, I am not saying that 1" killed my maneuverability in the woods but it was easy to keep my front end light shortening the swingarm. thats up to you though. its also a good time to bring the swing arm and carrier into the 21st century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
