Need to make longer front arms and add longer shocks to get more travel out of it. Looks like the front is super short travel. With doing longer arms you can use a better offset wheel to allow you to turn better as well. Right now with your wheel offset like it is your swinging the tire instead of turning it. With going with a 6 inch longer arms in the front you can use closer to a stock atv front wheel which is a 4-1 offset looks like you have a 2-3. 2 on the inside. So ultimately you will be 8 inches wider overall but more travel and better steering. Your front end will be close to the same width as the rear.

Already new the were too short. The new tubing bender I bought for building the new frame will bend the tubing I want to use for the new arms without kinking it. Then I'll flip the rims around to put the offset to the inside. Currently you don't feel the ruts in the steering. There's more travel in the front end then it looks like.Its got 8 inches. Would I like 12 or 14 yes. Will I get it Don't know.
