Since my stock 300 frontend is so lose and worn out it is about to fall off, i've been debating weather to replace all of the bushings/ bearings in my fontend, and get new tie rod ends, or to just try to get 400 a arms and a shock relocator , and either 400 shocks or 450 shocks. Is it worth spending a couple hundred dollars to swap it? What are the pros and cons on the swap? and what are you guy's oppinions who have done the swaps? thanks.

I have done is several times. I recomend it. Also..keep the 300ex spindles. I tryed the 400ex ones and they put a different angle on the tie rods that create a push in the front end.

I'll make you a good deal on a-arms, shocks and relocater.

Ive done this with used flea bay parts and got out real cheap.
.
I used 400ex front A arms
400ex tie rods ( will fit 300 ends)
Home made relocator
400ex stock front shocks

while I was at it I got a ATC350x swingarm, axle and rear shock for the back.

How much were you looking smr? And how well does the 350x rear work? I was thinking 660 raptor shock in the rear, but 350x could be an option..
