ive seen some guys do this. is this a good idea or not ?seems like it would put alot more pressure on your ball joints and require stiffer springs.have any of you guys done this if so does it help or hurt handling?

It will create bump steer and put more stress on tie rods and ball joints.
Hey how was the landing off that rock jump at livingston? I have done it a bunch on my bike but never on the quad. I don't like the way the take off is at an angle.

Not as much as I used to. Its getting a little out of control down there! I've been going to Mountain Parkway instead.

Ya, I've been through Russell Springs. Been to the Badlands about 15 times. Mostly in my Samurai, but I have rode my bike and quad there.

i have fliped my front rims, it makes it much more wide and it seems to work fine. i have bent 1 tie rod and i have had them fliped for 3 years.
