Well i've been looking at some pictures here lately on the pics of your quad thread, and i've noticed it seems as though everyone running 16.5" shocks has alot more angle to your aarms and also taller? Could just be me but i thought i'd ask. Anyone have any ideas?

Those a-arms dont look to be long travel! What is the length on those front shocks? Is the sag set up for you? Does look a little low.

Your Lonestar a-arms are standard travel, not long travel. If you want the front of your quad to sit higher adjust your preload to bring it up a little bit. It could also be that your shocks are not properly set up for your extended a-arms and the extra leverage they put on shocks. Try adjusting that preload a little.

Yeah i was thinkin about this last night when i was laying in bed, i think your right i think there not made for the extra leverage, i remembered how i could jump on the front bumper and almost bottom them out, and im pretty sure that isn't right, i only weigh a 140 pounds though so the shocks are probably better setup than if i would have standard length. but idk i have another set of shocks that i would like to have setup for me and the bike and maybe fix this problem.

Also i know 8686 specificly said lonestar arms, can someone verify this by there looks not the stickers?
My swingarm had lonestar stickers on it till i pulled them off and noticed it had a spot where i believe the original legear sticker was as i can't polish it out.
thanks

os 8686 thank you, and i'm sure you know what your talking about i just want a definite answer.

Your a-arms look to be LSR's and you swingarm looks like a Laeger.
