If I understand you correctly, your suggesting that the arms themselves are lifted, but this doesn’t result in a lift for the machine.
I’ll look more closely into it, but I think it does both. the A Arms are given an extra 1/2” of clearance, and the machine itself gets 3” of lift. This lift comes before any additional lift that would result from the bigger tire that one can use with the HCR A Arms. I’m told the forward displacement enables drivers to go as big as 35” with no rubbing.
Also HCR is different company than Can Am. Not to say they aren’t shady too, but given its a different outfit, we might presume they are a more honest organization.
I have them on order and will report goods they work out, which will take some time as were expecting a July shipment.
