do you mean +2 aarms or shocks. Because if you got +2 shocks it'd throw the geometry off to much and end up ruining ball joints or other stuff. I wouldn't recomend it at all

just set the preload as stiff as you can and it'll be okay for awhile. But I wouldn't suggest jumping with them. only do it if you plan on getting good suspension soon after

well if you're broke do what I did. I bought used +2 aarms from C&D racing for 250$, bought nearly new 450r shocks for 200$. The stock braklelines will work with +2 but they're not nearly as good as stainless braided ones. But when I get more money I plan on getting the arms powdercoated(currently painted)for around 55$. Then sending my R shocks to derisi so he can revalve and triple rate them for my bike, size and riding style for only 400$. And also get a set of nice brakelines. I'll be saving alot of money and the suspension will be better because the R shocks are fully adjustable.

no it shudnt make it too low because the mounts should be the same if they arent for long travel shocks
