houser a-arm problem

[71_400TRX]

i just put a set of houser slicast +2 arms on my 2005 TRX450R with my stock shocks, and the thing sits way low to the ground...i'd say the front end is atleast 3 to 4 inches off the ground. is there something wrong in my adjustment or is it the shocks? thanks for any help

Have you ordered long travel a arms and put your stock shocks on them? if so, that wont work. you'll have to get longer shocks.

That sounds like the problem.

Slicast arms are long shock arms, you can not use stock shocks on them. The shocks these are designed to work with are about 19.5" long eye to eye, stock shocks are something like 16" eye to eye. You either need to buy new shocks, or get arms that are designed to use stock lentgh shocks.

you'll be needing these, 600 shipped.
These are 18.5, or I have 19.5 Elkas as well.

Must be a special order, "call only" deal. There are no regular travel, slicast arms on there site. Should be pretty simple though, just run the slicast uppers with the regular lowers.

Actually, there are. I see no difference in the just standard travel a arms, but here is a link to the standard travel 'slicast' arms

I still think he has ordered LT arms and is trying to put stock shocks on them.

They are not advertised but you can get slicast regular travel all they do is give you regular bottoms and the slicast top a arms. They charge a **** load for them though straight from houser i think like 750 or so.
