i do a lot of trail riding, and no mx, and am not interested in making the quad any wider,
Double d what are you doing with the caster to solve this problem? shims under the stock a-arms can change caster and camber with longer bolts
The stock arms are fixed, so the caster cannot be changed on them. Our top arms are designed to slide forward and aft, thus allowing for caster ajustments. Alot of people dont want to add width to their bike. But in most cases of quads on the market, if you put +1 arms on them, the front end will still be narrower than the rear. If that would still be too wide for some, the answer would be to run a more inset wheel than stock. This would actually improve the handling. Remember, aftermarket arms are not to just make your quad wider, they also allow you to have the ability to fine tune the bike to YOUR liking. And dont forget, the stock lowers are made of .065 mild steel. JD arms are made of .095 4130 chrmolly steel. If you hit an obstacle like a rock, or another quad etc, the stock arms can cave in.
