300ex aftermarket a-arms?

[2k2-300exnj]

i was looking into a-arms for the 300ex i think +2 +1 is what i want meaning 2 inchs wider and one inch forward correct me if am wrong. but who makes the best i have seen krypton, leigher(sp?), lonestar, and have heard of bugards(SP?) are they any good never seen them ? but which is the strongest? lightest stuff like that. pictures would be great thanx

p.s. would i need extended brake lines with these and would running the stock shocks for like 2 months hurt anything?

I just got some LSR +2+1 arms and you don't have to get brake lines immediately but the stock ones won't last long. If you have the money to get the arms, i would recommend spending the extra $100 and getting some extended fastline brake lines.
I don't know too much about the stock shocks or other brands though

so r u using your stock dshox with them how much were they and how is it?

[PDunes300ex]

I have works dual rates with rezzies...Today or tomorrow i will have the whole thing put together...hopefully i will have a test ride on Thursday so I will let you know. With the extended arms and stock shocks you will probably have to firm up the settings on the shocks to keep from bottoming out. don't know for sure though

so if i use my stock shox on +2 a-arms will i loose travel?

[PDunes300ex]

I don't think you will lose travel...but since the arms will be sticking out two inches farther...when you jump and what not more pressure will be exerted on the shocks making them feel softer. So tighten them up and you should be fine. The reason to get aftermarket shocks is because even with works you can order them so they have almost two inches more travel plus an extra spring or two (tripel rates) to soke up the compression of harder landings. Hopefully somebody on here has more complete information because i am definately not an expert on this.:)
