my stock a-arm ball joints are loose and they only lasted for 6 months is that normal? if i do get lets say +3 a-armsor sumthing will my stock suspension fit and i herad that some companies make the a-arms and ball joints seperate so if they do go you dont need to buy new a-arms. which companies are these? i would need longer brake lines right? anything else i would have to change or is that it?

All aftermarket a-arms come with replaceable balljoints. Your stock shocks will fit but will be way to soft. You will need aftermarket shocks. Yes, you will also need longer brake lines.

No you wouldnt unless youd like one. Most people run a +1 stem when they are running CR-HI bend bars (lower and flatter than stock), or have an oversized gas tank for long distance races/riding....
