suspension question

I am planning on getting +2 (+4 all together) roll a-arms and a lonestar axle. The problem is the lonestar axle only extends to +3.5??? What should i do about the .5" of difference?? Does it matter??

Thanks

It doesn't matter on .5"
I would use 4/1 offset front rims, that's what I'm gonna do. got the same setup and love it.

4/1 offset rims in front and back. Not that good with offsets :D

That's not really how you figure widths. A +3.5 axle is 3.5" wider than stock but the rear is a lil wider than the front anyway so it dont take as much to get the rear close to 50". That axle should put you around the 49ish" mark for the rear. With your +2 a-arms, your rear will still be wider than your front(with stock offset front wheels). If you went with +3 a-arms, the you'd be close to the same front/back. So if you want the front/rear to be the same with the set-up you are wanting, you need 3-2 offset front wheels. Get what im sayin?

Yeah thanks....If i didn't do the 3:2 offset then what should the rear be? Like + what?? Since the axle can be extended on however you want it.

Your rear will be the same width, 49ish" with your +3.5 axle. The 3-2 offset I was refering to was on the front. Your rear will be around 49ish". If you go with +2 a-arms and use stock offset fronts (on a 400ex I am assuming), your front should be around 47-48". Prolly closer to 47" range.

got it...all i need to do it run 3:2 offset and it will be about equal front and rear!!

It should be close. You said Roll a-arms, are these LT or standard travel?

[400exrider0004]

LT

[416exmx]

I thought all Roll LT a-arms were +3... 400ex or 450R? You gettin these a-arms new or used?

I talked to a guy at roll and he had the +2 arms for me so i am positive there are +2!
