Is $75 high for this.

Around me there isnt much machine shops or good welders...but there is one place and they want $75 to weld or I mean extend my swinger +5 inches, is that high,cheap, or ok. All i have to do is carry in the swinger and pick it up in 2 days....what do you think?

 

[thedirtyalien]

they charge 65 here in ri. that sounds like a good price!

 

[BlueDragon1998]

Ok cool, I was thinking it was to cheap and the dude was gonna f_ck it up...lol

 

[thedirtyalien]

if he is a welder u cant go wrong i wanted to extend mine too but i heard the shock would have to be changed or it will sit lower

 

[matt75]

I do a little welding myself. I would say that is a good price but you should find what it consists of.... Such as is he gonna clean and grind the welds, supply the extension steel etc. things like that. If it was me i wouldnt attempt to weld something if i thought i would screw it up, and if i did i would offer a replacement.

He said it would look like factory. I just have to drop it off and come back for it in 2 days..the swinger isnt steel......its aluminum isn it...?

swinger's steel. Find out what kind of welder he's going to use and what thickness of steel he's going to use also

Extending the swing arm will definitely require more spring. As soon as I put on a +3 swingarm it started to bottom out on jumps. If the shock mount location is unchanged, then actual shock length is not the issue, but spring rate definitely is. Basically you are adding a longer lever...

i recently put a 400ex rear shock on mine... if i put an extended swinger on there... maybe like +3 or +4... would this shock be long enough? or wat if it gets extended after the shock bracket?
