[400exdave]

im going to buy +2 inch a-arms and works shocks that are extended 2 inches... now do I have to get longer brake lines or extend anything else other than tie-rods?

thanks in advance

you dont need +2 shocks for +2 a-arms...just need stock lenth but valved for +2

Not neccessarly true... Check with who your getting them from and see if they are setup for +2 shocks or stock length.

Its always a good Idea to get new brake lines. I highly doubt stock lines will fit, do a search to find out...

stock lines work fine with +2 arms.....i used stock lines for a long time

stock brake lines will reach, but braided lines perform better.(brake fade)
also your shocks (standard) need to be valved for the +2 a-arms.

I just tested a Suzuki Z-400 this weekend with +2 Alba Sportsman arms with stock brake lines and stock shocks with the preload bumped up 2 clicks. It felt (suspension wise) just like stock with the bonus of the extra 2 inches of width. I can't vouch for all setups, but this one worked great as a low cost setup that required only arms and tie rods.
