banshee tuner Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 +4 should be a plenty, if not get some rims with a greater offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 3+1 Lt arms are meant to be run with 4+1 offset rims... will will put your front end right around 50''.... +4 axle is all you need.... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Olie Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 My rim's front & rear are both off set on the Shee right now... I just don't want to get the front wider then the rear... The idea is to get the Shee around 50" wide and maybe 52 to 53" long... I think that it would rock @ the Dunes Later, Olie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to run +4+1 offset rims with those LT arms... if not it'll handle like pure dee shit.... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hey I just think the guy should know before he dumps all that cash in a LT setup and is disappointed w/ the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruko Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Instead of going over it all agian there were a couple threads about the whole bump steer/long travel issue a while back... http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...topic=44677&hl= http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...topic=49000&hl= My a-arms are not long travel but I get just over 11 inches of travel with 450 shocks and Sanddragon's a-arms with the mounts moved out to allow them to use their full lenght. They work awesome with no noticeable bump steer, but the long travel are supose to get 13 inches travel so that may make a difference. I have never rode an LT setup so I can't say.

AZ Olie Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Yea the issue was mentioned, but all of my riding will be done @ the Dune's or @ Cinder's in Flagstaff... If it become's a problem, I'll be looking @ a steering stabilizer, or figure out how to fix it if it's out of control... I'm sure that it would be more noticeable if I was racing MX or tight section's, but for wide open spaces I should be fine... Olie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I dunno man...its gonna be most noticeable when hitting something hard (like those unexepected dropoffs) or when coming down from a jump. I'm thinking that's the worst time for the wheels to be yanked. As of right now the only fix is to fab a new, narrower front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
