Has anyone looked into this? I seen one truck with B4 arms on the front but im not sure it was any wider.

I know alot of you guys here are amazing builders and would love to see something like this.I think it would make the truck more forgiving in the rough stuff and also more stable.It will prolly hurt it in crawling though.

B4.1 rear arms, 3/8" wider on each side.

They are a combination of MIP and TH shafts.

The stock set-up will not work with wider arms.

yea thats the biggest hurdle, the drive shafts. how does your truck handle?

It handles very nice, I have 2" of travel at the hexs and with 4" shocks I'm able to use all that travel. Making high speed turns is alot smoother and stable. The extra travel is nice for crawling too!!

thats what iam trying to get, more stability on high speed turns. played a bit with rear link position tonight (see post) but didnt get much of what i wanted.
