I think, but i'm not positive, that your stock shocks can be re valved? i can't remember what it's called incase thats not right

The stock front shocks can not be revalved. Only the stock rear. I think the stock shocks would work, but I wouldn`t do anything wild until you get different shocks. What kind of a-arms were you looking at?

you cant do anything with stcok fronts they are completely non re-buildable, but yes i was wondering the same thing about using stock shocks on +2 a arms?

i no they cant be revalved

i am guessing they would work okay...if its temporarily

i am looking at burgard, jd, and houser

i might have someone make extensions to bolt onto the aarm out of steel?think it would work?

qwll trx400ex it is possible, go down to the thread labled "pics of jd performence a arms" in the chassis forum and in the second reply there is a pic of a yellow 400 with jd +2 a arms with stock shocks, looks good too.

You CAN use your stock front shocks.....BUT.......they are going to be MORE prone to bottom. I would probably go with shocks first and have them valved for your +2 A-arms. They will ride a little harsh, but will not have to worry about them bottoming out on you....I still haven't decided which arms I am going with, but ordered my shocks for +2 since I had my spacers up front anyways....JIM
