Yah I read it.. lol
But getting works shocks off ebay, and shipped to canada would end up costing me like $550.. That's out of my price range.

The pair on ebay looked pretty rough.
I'm looking to buy these ones right now.

Do you plan on trail riding or more of wide open areas? Cause them 400ex arms are gonna make it super wide... Just a thought

Dont you have +2? which makes it +4 on the warrior. They make a stock length 400 ex arm also?
When i was building my arms for my 87 i held up my ASR warrior arms for the newer frame and they too could be spaced to work like you did with the 400ex arms

You can get OEM length after market arms

I looked at modding aftermarket warrior a arms to fit the older frame.
But with that being said, I like the fact you can get a wider stance out of the 400ex arms. I also like the long travel arms for the 400ex.
Most of the trails around here are wide enuf to accommodate lifted Rhinos, Razors, and full modded 4x4's. I have to think they would be wider than a Warrior with an extra 4 inches on it????

you also alsways have the option of finding a 90 and up roller so you could get aftermarket a arms that are made for it. sometimes they can be found cheap

I looked into that as well, but I heard their not as easy to make as it looks.
I also don't have access to a tubing bender.
I built the mounts outta scrap steel from a local machine shop.. I would have to buy all the tubing, hiems, and ball joints to make some a arms. It's just easier to buy some that are already made.. lol

I have a couple of questions for everybody??
I was looking to get an anti vibe steering stem for my Warrior, but the only ones I could find were for the 350 Raptor.. Will that stem fit my frame?
I was also wondering about this 400ex a-arm swap, and how it's going to effect the steering geometry?
Cause I'll end up +4 up 1. Right?? (That's pretty wide) It's gotta effect the turning radius?
I was wondering if I could grind down the stops on the flag of the stem, to get more steering angle for tight trails?
I could use a little feedback on this.
