Hey guys, im just wondering what length a arms you woods and xc guys are running id like a little wider stance. i was thinking +1's or just a wheel offset that provides +1 and h/d replacement arms.

any input is appreciated as well as pics

thanks in advance

Really, that is what i had thought. Big difference over stock handling(when equipped with an aftermarket shock setup for it )?

its two inches wider,it always help,and with suspension you should be awesome,i've seen some trick setups for the desert type racing where they get a amazing 14 inches of travel

It also depends if you want to go Longtravel or not

I run plus two a arms which is 4ins wider and I love it and have had no problems in any of the races. Plus 4 is still less than some of the newer quads with just plus ones.

majority of GNCCer's run +1 wide long travel a-arms with 4 to 1 offset rims to have not such a wide stance for squeezing thru those trees. Some also run a-arms that are +1 wide and +.5 forward lon travels

+1 a-arms with 4:1 off set I would probably get roll design arms

thats the biggest thing i was afraid of was snagging the wheels on trees.
