NickyPap Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 Can anyone recommend the best set up for the money (a-arms/axle) that will widen my stance? Quote
SDD Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 The cheapest axle price wise is the Ricky Stator +4 axle. I've had one on my banshee for over a year with no problems. For $200 bucks you can't beat it. I jump my banshee a lot and haven't bent it yet. The front end is way more costly to widen. If you get A-arms you have to get shocks. I am very happy with my setup and it cost me a lot less than some of the cheaper brands out there. Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 you could allways flip your rear rims that will widen it a little, just turn them around so the valve stem is on the inside......you can flip the fronts too but is a little harder to do......dont get wheel spacers, there a death wish if you pound your bike youll twist them or snap them off....

frocashmoney24 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 you dont need longer shocks if you extended you stance in the front +2+1 you can use stock size shocks, but +3+1 youll need longer shocks Quote
ledofthezep Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 +3+1 youll need longer shocks ...AND new brake lines. Quote
spoin39 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 I bought a set of +1 A-arms from Eyeball Engineering for about $470-500 a few years ago and still look new. I like the Lonestar Axcaliber axles just because they warranty them for life. Quote
Klotz Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 i have 1 inch wheel spacers with 2 inch offset rims..and no i dont even wanna hear it.,.dont tell me im on a death wish.....i know this set up is crazy but its so cheap...my banshee is now 50 inches wide in the front and backand i have been jumpingf it and been hard on it and nothing has bent yet thanks lol shane Quote
ScreaminShee01 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 yeah, but a arms and axles are better Quote

Wallrat Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 Wicked Products sells A-arms for $450 unfinished, $500 powdercoated, or $600 chromed on ebay. Quote
badass_r6 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 look into jd performance. they sell +2 and +3 arms for a great price. i went with the +2+1 arms and have had no complaints. Quote
hash1250r Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 Try one of these sites http://www.z400central.com/burgard/ or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2450057699 Quote
BansheeKid13 Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 if you go to the +2 a- arms and dont go with a new set of shocks dont they bottom out...? thats what ive heard from alot of people...? ur opinions... Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 look into jd performance. they sell +2 and +3 arms for a great price. i went with the +2+1 arms and have had no complaints. and in the JD's, the arm is not threaded, the ball joints slide through the arms and have big lock nuts, so you can do a real dead on alignments....
