    people suggest that you adjust your angle of your shock to compensate for the length.

    As for replacing stuff,.. just chain, and brake lines is all.

    yes',the mount was moved foward,since i extended 6 inches,all i did is cut the old mount off flush,and move the newly made ones up six,to smooth the welds,i used a thin coat of bondo,and i do jump it,and no cracks as of yet!!!took me around four hours form start to finish.

    almost forgot,adds only 1 1/2 lbs to swingarm by extending to a plus six with the extra metal used.
