Would it be possible to have two shock mounts? I believe most people would want to keep the stock quad width, but that's just my opinion.

Not to far from you, 21161, Maryland.
Sorry about the mud.
Upper A-arm is NOT part of the lower subframe.

This is a start.......

I rented a xx700 over the weekend and did quite a bit of design work. It looks as though extending the subframe won't be a good choice because then the shock mounts wouldn't match up. If we did extend the subframe we would also have to create all 4 a-arms any way.
Solution: I was able to design an a-arm and axle kit that will lengthen the ATV 2 inches and make the total width with stock tires 48.5" wide.
As for the shock dilemma and keeping the kit from getting too expensive. You can use your stock shock and screw an aluminum adapter to the bottom. This is a pretty simple procedure and then we don't have to worry about having multiple shock mounts. The adapter will come with bearings seals and spacers not shown below.

The shocks come stock 19.687" long. this is plenty of length for any of our big shock manufacturers to create a quality shock.
Pictures of the a-arm kit design are attached below. You can use your stock shocks or an after market set. It looks as though the after market shocks will have to be built with external reservoir, not piggybacks. The piggy back shocks will not fit the upper shock mounts of the your 700xx.
I designed the upper a-arms so that you can adjust your camber. it is important that you don't adjust your camber negative more then a few deg at ride height because this could create too much rear axle misalignment. I toyed around with the idea of making the lower a-arm adjustable as well. We have found that a little toe out in the rear helps with steering. Is this something you might be interested? It does make the assembly process more involved.
I would like to get at lease 3 pre-orders before I go ahead and do the first prototype and a small production run. This just means I need your billing information and you will be billed when we ship the setup to you.
I can build the first set some time this week and have the axel length ironed out by mid week. For me to place the axle order I will need someone to temporarily donate their inner CV star so the axel manufacturer can test fit the spline . If I schedule the axle cutting correctly you will only be without your cv star for one week.
The price of the kit will be $1799.00 with the stock shock adapters and $1649.00 without. If you decide to go with an after market shock manufacturer I will work with them so they have the shock mounting data and motion ratios so they can figure out the valving.
