Any fab shop should be able to do this.  This is a simple procedure.

It is a simple procedure for shops that understand where the stress areas of the swing arm are located so that they can be strengthened in those areas.   Make sure that they do not cut the swingarm in the wrong spot and upset the design of the shock linkage or the operation of the disk brake caliper.  We usually have to revalve the shock, change the shock spring and lengthen the brake line on the swing arms that we modify.

Bump.

I though I saw a Dr. Q video of one of his buddies that does this. That's all I got.

He told me he does it. Send him two stockers and he will put them together at +3 or +4.

Alkyzilla had one a Glamis. I think he said he just found a fab shop that was good with aluminum and had them stretch out. So, you might be able to get it done locally...

I like the look of a long stock stock looking swinger but some of the aftermarket setups look pretty sweet.

COnsidering lengthening the stock swinger on my wifes raptor.  Now that I pumped up the motor she cant keep the front end down.  I want to go +3 and wanted to compare the cost of new vs lengthening but I cant find anyone who will cut n weld. Im sure there are lots of qualified people who do it but i cant find them.

I am out west  ( utah)  would be better.  thanks
