Anyone ever seen or used one of these kits? I have never seen one before myself.

Seen that kit before and read about a couple members using it. Never heard a negative by a user but not really sure if I would use it myself.
hmm, Neither of my kids ride very hard, this could be a cheap way for me to make their bikes a bit more stable for a while. Not sure I would trust it if they rode hard though.
Works really well, strong enough for jumping.
One minor drawback it does make bump steer more noticeable, but a toe adjustment can help to iron most of that out.
You may need the lowering/raising kit as well to keep the shocks at the correct angle.
See below pic.

Also flip the front wheels with the spacers.
Be careful if you flip without spacers you could tear the valve tit off.

How could wheel spacers be stronger? The tensile strength in the aluminum is less, they are smaller, holding onto smaller parts of the quad than the kit. Steel at the angle thats in the kit, would be almost impossible to bend up. If you want to make the argument if you hit something straight on and bent the kit, your a-arms would be toast first.
Just my 2 cents on that topic...
If i only had a few bucks, yeh i would get wheel spacers. If you are going to buy this kit, its worth waiting for extended arms. Unless you wanted the lowering aspect.

I have no experience with this kit but experience is the best judge and if blaaster says its good I trust his advice
The only part of the kit that is a little suspect are the tie rod extensions.
My Lad managed to bend and extension, dunno how, but he managed it.

Blaaster by chance is the widening a huge improvement?i am putting a banshee axel and works shocks on mine and if its worthwhile want to widen the front
Huge improvement, only flipped it once since widening.
We got to legal width by using the kit and 5" spacers on the front, no wheel flipping.
Legal width on the rear was a Banshee axle and the same stud spacers as on the front.
Our legal 1270 mm width is possibly different to yours .
Here is the rear.

I dont think you have to be a certain width here, but not certain.
btw, i like your rear end
nice and wiiiiiddeeeI:I
thanks blaaster only reason im doing the mods on my budget is parts where bartered thus free to me but when income tax return time comes maybe some more mods
My kids don't ride hard so this is a definite option for me. Like Herp said though, better to get the extended A-arms. I agree! However, everything I do, I have to twice so money quickly becomes an issue. I have wheel spacers (Stud type) right now but I saw this and it seems doable on a budget x2.....
