It looks as if I will be going with the LT Houser Elka Setup for the front end, and Elka / Houser rear.

The LT will be +2. However, at this point, I am about out of money, (for quite a while), so I will have to run the stock axle for a while.

The front end of the 450R is about 3.3 inches less wide than the rear. So hopefully it wont be too bad.

Anyone else have experience running into this type of situation. If so, how did your quad handle?

Thanks!

I would think your back end would come around pretty quick. Squeeze that card a little harder, maybe it'll produce an axle. Good luck! :p

i did that same thing on my 400 for a little over a year. and it was perfect! i would say youll be good to go as long as you dont bend your axle!

put spacers on the rear to even it out.

It shouldnt be too bad, But you may run into some cornering issues especially when in ruts. when your front tire is in the berm, and you are on the gas the rear end is going to want to follow which will bring your back end around even further, and will give it an oversteer feeling.
