HPey, I just traded my +3 arms for +2, and I have a question about the a arm with to the axle, if I get +2 +1 front end, what should my axle be for the best handeling? Should i get a +2 or +4 rear end Whats the most desired setup?

get the LSR +2+2 axle. you can adjust it to the width that you like best, but i would say leave it all the way at +4 for the best handling,and if you do a lot of really tight woods, than def get the LSR +2+2, that way you can adjust it to fit your riding style.

As far as wich width is better is up to your set up and the track conditions. Most all aftermarket MX axles are adjustable. They narrowist width on most is +1 all the way narrow. Then you add spacers to adjust it from +1 to +4. We've found that keeping the rear end slightly narrower than the front helps with traction in the corners. Especially when the track is slick.

Thanks, that was what I was looking for, now, one thing I dont understand, if I get the +2 front end and a +2 axle, will that mean that they will be even? or should I get a +2 front and +1 rear? its just weird, I guess all I am asking is if I get a +2 front what size rear will I need to make it slightly smaller in width

Keep your +2 front end

If you can, get an adjustable axle from +2 to +4. If you feel your front end isn't wide enough change to widder offset rims.

Just because your front end is +2 and your rear is +2 does not mean they're the same width. You still need to measure. If you have any aftermarket rims this can change your width.
