i have +3 janssen outlaw arms with long travel elkas....love em. was wondering how to do up the rear for long travel. can i use stock swinger with different shock and linkage? what about no link options...with an extended arm. i'd like to run a skid plate . i have an after market alum air box also s . will clearance be an issue? thanks:confused:

Yes, you can run a skid plate. But all 3 of my No link bikes the air box hits the rear brake caliper, I even spaced them out some. The only time it hits is when I'm landing in the flats or just some big jumps. It's not that bad, but it does hit.

What type of riding do you do ?? They do make some LT link set ups. I'm not that sure about how they work with the link. I know this has been a hot topic for years !! Try a search.
