Lowering Swing Arm Rear End

Postby Bill K » 25 Sun Mar, 2018 9:30 pm

Somewhere I saw some adapter plates you could bolt on the end of your swing arms and bolt back to your axle making the swing arm be attached to axle lower than original. Their purpose was to lower the back end.

Has anyone seen these, and if so, where can they be gotten?

I also saw where can buy adjustable swing arms.

My question in both cases is: Does using either of these allow you to lower the rear without affecting the camber?

To answer your last question NO not with a swing axle
You can raise the trans with higher mounts then lower the buggy with adjustable spring plates
or something like that.

Thanks a bunch, Brian. Yes, I'd be interested in having them, but not sure when I can get by to get them. So, if you need to move them or quickly please do so and don't worry about me.
