yea i was wondering if any of yall ran this or have heard about it..
for 200 buck +6 is pretty good and 400ex shocks and yea....What do yall think?

Are you talking about those a arms extenders off of ebay?

Posted by: chapmanmd

we used their upper shock mount for the 400ex shocks. Have been really happy with it. Also have a pair of his billet rear wheel spacers if anyone needs a pair.

He's a first class guy that cares about his stuff. I really dont know about the plus 6 thing. I see some suspension geometry issues there... Im sticking with my ASR LT.

yea that thing off ebay it costs about the same to get a 400ex from end and with the kit thing u get +6 and stuff

I wouldn't get it. It puts stress on the tie rods and could break them or even crack the frame. If your going to do it, do it right and spend the money it will be worth it in the long run. IMO

i would just do the relocator and 400ex a arms and tierods...but the +6 thing puts way too much stress on the frame and it will mostlikely crack or worse break.

I really think the best way to do it is to go with +2 or +3 300ex arms and the correct aftermarket 300ex shocks for the a arms, whether youre running regular or LT, with the stock upper shock mount.

If youre on a budget, however, and still want additional width, then go with the 400ex a arms, tie rods, shocks, and the upper shockmount for the 400ex shocks. I ran the 400ex setup for a while and for other than hardcore XC or MX, its fine.

If you need a 400ex setup, I have a set of a arms, tie rods, and shocks from my 05 400ex that Im parting with.

All depends on the end use. Budget flat track only (where suspension travel is very limited) it may be "ok". Woods, MX, XC, Dunes.. not a good idea IMHO.
