I just ordered a +3 swingarm for my raptor from t-dub racing. Great customer service. I first tried to call him but didnt get an answer so i just messaged him through ebay to get some details for the swinger. Within 5 min of my message he calls me back! So the details are worked out: i want a +3 bare swinger with a closed houseing (since i ride some nasty trails), also i want skid plate mounts. So he then says he'll make it heavy duty for the trails, too. All this for $321 shipped! Great person to work with and im pumped to get the swinger.

Just to remind you, you may need an extended rear brake line when adding that long of swinger. And, now that I think of it, an adjustable link to sit your ride height correct again.

On the raptor's current brake setup the rear breakline can be turned around and will stretch, the jtm 4.5 inch extension still uses the stock brakeline. As far as ride height i may have to look into that, but well see how it sits first.

thats not a bad price for a swinger... to bad they don't make a TRI-Z arm.. but i guess if he builds banshee arms he could pretty easily do a TRI-Z arm... they are the same width i believe...
