i plan of making a custom lift for my 450 and i need to know if i will need to extend the a arms and the tie rods. will it be a hard task? has anyone ever done this if so your help would be appreciated
how much lift or u taking about? if u have the tools and equipment to do this with, it will only take time and a lot of brain power to come up with a design.
The angles will probably be the hard part. As long as it isn't higher than about 2" you shouldn't have to extend anything. If you do have the proper tools, it would probably be good to go ahead and extend everything. You might have a problem with stress if you start to cutting and welding.
check this link out to my forum for our riding group. one of our members is making the lift for a 450 foreman, it is going to be awsome. more pics to come as the build gets closer. there shooting to have it done before mud nationals.
the a-arms will be built with square tubing instead of round tube. buzsaw is the builder of this project so if you have any questions just ask him and he will help you out with some info.
got it, thanks buz. the bike going to have some jack. how wide is it going to be? Nice layout on the a-arms and the balljoint set up. looks like it will be there awhile.
