No way you are a bad azz!!! I totally agree that the lost part of the quad is in the rear..... sprocket, axle, and brake area..... those other arms do look cool though, but..... I don't think they are worth it

No, I have decided not to. Reason being , is that you only gain about .5" to 1" more clearance between the shock mnt and the frame mnt. Its a span of about 5". Problem is, the shock mnt is still the same distance from the ground as a straight set of arms, not to mention that in that same span area directly back, is the rear sprocket and rotor.Remember, the lowest point on a quad is in the rear [abuot 3.5 to 4.5 " is it] So in all reality, mgc arms are not as practical as many people think they are. MGC arms were first built with the reverse gull wing buy a friend of mine who used to make atv suspension. They were built to look different than everything else out there to promote more sales. Later, other companies started doing the same, and somewhere in the mix someone called them mgc arms and walla, everybody wants mgc arms. So in all reality, I dont really believe that most people are not willing to pay an additional $150 for mgc. [at least not most who call me]. However, those who really like the look and believe that is the setup for them, then there are alot of co's making them to choose from.

why did you change your mind about this, with your new ground clearnce arms? which by the way look really good.

Too many people contacted me and wanted me to do them, so instead of watching everyone go elseware with their buisness, the only smart thing for me to do was to build what the people want.

what size shocks does the LT MGC arms use?

They use the exact same 20" shock as my other LT arms. I had to, cause everyone would have been pissed at me, if they would have to change shocks. I have had quite a few people purchase a new set of mgc arms that already had my regular LT version.
