I'll watch and see how yours do. Hopefully he built jigs.

P.S- If I get arms I'll be doing 32" with current mods, I should be fine.

You're right but...
The shocks gave about 2.5". He normally gives about 2.5" lift with the arms.

I don't think my universal joints can take that much. I want to relocate the shock mounts to maintain 2.5"-3.0" higher than factory.
Then with 30" tires instead of ??? (isn't 26" the norm?), so I will end up with 5" above factory.

Unless someone here has lifted a 700 higher than 3" and then abused it to see if the joints can take it. Then maybe I'd go a little higher.

His going rate for front and rears is $1200.

I'm getting a little excited about it. Then again I plan to ride a lot of mud Saturday and I'm excited about that too.

I dropped the Pioneer off Sunday. I'm told Thursday or Friday is the goal to get it back. (If his day job doesn't get in the way).

By the way... I was dragging bottom Saturday and almost made it through.
The A-arms would have made that difference.

EDIT: Just talked to Paul. He has a shutdown in south Texas that is going to last 6 weeks or so. He got my front completed, but not the rears. So I will pick it up Friday and use it until he gets back in town. Wasn't the way I would have planned it but this should be interesting.

I'll post pictures Monday.

I'm not sure it will look much different until it has larger tires on it.

OK, I have the fronts done. I don't have photo with everything stock, but I did have one I took after the Can-am shocks were installed. They are much beefier than stock. I'm now clearing 16".

The wife wanted some bling so the spider web showed up. I might make her change it to black. IMG 2831

I will buy new tires after we get the rears arched. Those are 28.5" Swamp Lites. They measure right at 28.5".

They are arched forward 1.5". If you go any farther the stock steering is compromised.

Paul's day job took him away. He will be back in about 6 weeks and we will do the backs.

I wish I had taken close ups. I'll see if I can blow one up and not loose resolutions.

I have no idea why that photo wants to lay sideways.

Thanks for the close ups, even though I had to lay on my side for the one lol. I really need that forward arm. Looking good.

Updates ?
Not sure if it's my place to speak for Mr. gator but last I heard he was waiting on Paul to get back from work to finish. I want to say Paul works on a oil rig in the gulf and would be gone for a few weeks

Thanks @Tflynn. Super atv keeps blowing me off. I'm just about ready to have one of my guys build me a set.

That makes two of us. The thing that is so frustrating is they have posted pictures on their Facebook page of a 700 with arched arms they built. Thanks to @scott for getting those! So...they've built them, just not selling them? Come on superatv! We have money that we are dying to give you...
