+4 swingarm/seat height

[Unstock240]

Hey everyone, well I'm planning on buying a +4 swing arm. I think +4 would make the wheelbase look better. I was wondering will this raise the rear seat height any at all?

 

[Mrbrocco]

no the seat height is determined by the rear shock.. although it could just a tad but nothing that would really look higher my +2 swingarm is nice and the seat isnt any higher. it just looks it cuz the rear axle gets pushed back

if you get a extended swing arm that was done right the shock mount should be in the stock location. this wont raise your seat height any at all.

if you get a +4 and a yfz450 rear shock it will raise it up 4 inches

actually. a longer swingarm will raise your seat height.

It depends on the placement of the shock. Ive got 12 more inches over stock and kept the same seat height. Make sure to research the effects of a extended swing arm before buying. I got mine from a person who went to long and didnt have the power to bring the wheels off the ground. That was a easy fix for me. I just added more power! You may want to think about upgrading to a new axle and wider A arms, if you havent already ! Good Luck

nice machine droberts, when the cash is right i want to build a rock crawler.
i got a good idea, gonna make a bigger version of a quad with full independent suspension.

Well I know some longer swing arms have a bend up towards the last few inches. I figure this is so it wont raise the back end up. So maybe a straight one will do very little.

The extra leverage about equals it out, I don't think mine is any higher?

I found a +4 rear brake cable that also eliminates the long cable to the front. Does anyone know where i can find a single cable front brake lever?

You don't have to change the front cable when installing the Motion Pro rear cable, it just removes the cable from the front lever that runs to the back.
