I was wondering, if I were to purchase a +2 or +3 swingarm, would I have to get +1 A-arms to make up for any weight distribution I may have fouled up? Thanks in advance.

it is the other way around you have to buy a longer swing arm for +1 a-arms but if you buy a longer swinger you dont have to buy a longer a-arm

The longer a arms would only make the quad wider, that wouldn't counteract anything with a longer swingarm. Now if you put in a widers axel, you would want to buy some wider a arm to make the front the same width as the back.

No you wouldn't. If you don't mind me asking why do you need such a long swingarm? With a +4 the +1 forward a arms would just further throw off the handling.

I don't want a +4 swinger, either a +2 or +3 don't know which one yet, but I was just making sure that if I were to get a +2 or +3 swinger, I wouldn't have to have the +1 forward a-arms. Thanks for helpin' me.

you dont HAVE to have them, but if you ever plan on buying a-arms, go on and get them plus 1 foward, it will help it steer a tad better.

also, i recomend a plus 1 swinger, i had a pretty built motor and never wished for anything longer than my plus 1
