Going to extend a swinger

[MORAPTOR700]

Well purchased me a spare swinger to try and extend. Thinking of going +2" unless anybody can talk me into more. What you guys think about a +3".
Here are a few picture to start out with. It's going to take me awhile to get a few more things rounded up.

I'd do +3 or +4....I am looking at doing an extended stock swinger now myself...started doing some hillclimbs and my front end kept trying to come up the whole time.

Pat.. you need to stick to flat land..

fyi.




And +3 is a solid choice. +2 or +3. I think when you get into the +4 range is where it starts getting tough turning (tight trails wise) I guess it kind of depends on what type of riding you plan on doing with it.

Good point.

a +3 is perfect for trail riding. thats what devans is, and you can only notice a little bit of a difference in turning but it stays planted well, and still can wheelie if you want it to.

cant find a pic right now, but it looks great with a +3

A little bit of everything

Yeah, I'd think a 2-3 would suit that fine. I think its funny you say you can't notice a difference on trails Ex. Even w/ my +2 it was a pretty big difference in the woods.

i didnt ride it a whole lot but it didnt seem to affect it that much. it seems to turn around fairly easy

[Spartan]

Depends on other factors such as alignment, stock/aftermarket width, type of terrain you're turning in...

i have a +6 and i do alot of trail ridin and i have no problems turning  i built me one out of steel i weld for a living and do alot of fabing and machining. also it takes alot of practice to weld ast aluminum i would start from skratch

[Krandall]

Awesome work! got any pics floating around?

[1badazz_700r]

my +3 is perfect for everything from trails to dirt drags. and i really didnt notice enough of a difference to say so.

Well worked on the extended swinger a little this past weekend. Got a top, bottom and center gusset plates cut. Know just got to get my welding buddy lined up and then let the fun begin. Oh going extend it 3".
