I just started racing my Raptor on the Flat Track, and have done real well with it. I have lot's of power and have been able to put it to the ground with lot's of supension mod's and constant adjustments. One thing I have not been able to really dial in is the front end seems to push in the corners. I already have houser +2 a-arms dual rate Elka's and run soft compound Hoosier  Tire's. The quad is lowerd to 6" in the rear and 6 and 1/4 in the front. I could go a little more but it would put the swing arm and a-arms past level, witch would cause it to lose the bite it has now. Any Idea's or input on this? Oh ya the front end is 1 and 1/2" wider than the rear but I am right at the limit of 50" in the front, also I am running the stock swing arm. Does anyone know if I go shorter by a inch or two would this help the front end push?

I would help a bit. At least on my 660, it likes the front and back to be even width. Or rear slightly wider...that helpef my cornering issues. I bought the cheapo rear spacer studs for ice racing and my annual trip to the dunes...no problems whatsoever.

As i said I only have room for a 1" increase in the rear as far as width goes. I'm not sure where I could get this other than a new axle. Any Idea's?

durablue extended hubs. Or stud style wheel spacers. I only paid $30 for mine, they add 1.5" on either side. I wouldn't go MX'ing on them, but they worked fine in the sand, and will be great for the ice.
