JB racing suspension set up help needed

[mpblaster287]

I have JB racing LT +2 3/8 a-arms for an 06+ I am going to be running on my 04 trx 450r. I have heard that everyone likes the 04-05 spindles better because they reduce bump steer because they place the wheel center closer to the a-arms or something like that. Will I be able to run 04-05 spindles on my 06+ arms on my 04 or do i have to use 06+ spindles? I have both but I would rather use the 04's of possible.

Also I have a JB racing swing arm that is supposed to be for all years. It has two mounting holes for the linkage. I have been told that the top hole is for standard travel linkage and the bottom is for long travel linkage. I have a LT elka elite with elka linkage i was going to run with it. I bought the two items seperate and I want to make sure they will work together before I replace bearings and have things powdercoated. Does the year of the swinger and shock matter? I have heard that you can not mix 04-04 and 06+ swingers and linkages, but if the swingarm is for all years it should work right?

Thanks to anyone that answers this.

Try posting this in the 450r specific section, you will probably get more replies there.

Chris,

I believe that the 06 Arms can be used with the 04/05 spindles, but also must use the 04/05 hubs. Whereas if you use the 06 spindles they will need the 06 hubs. I can find out for sure from my mechanic if you would like. Otherwise give Jody a call, and he would be happy to answer your questions.

In regards to the swinger if you are using an 04/05 swingarm you should be using an 04/05 linkage and dogbone. The two holes I believe just change the leverage ratio of the shock, and don't correlate to long travel vs std travel. JB actually has a LT linkage system to use an LT shock.
