i was about to order some burgards plus 3 arms then i found some jp racing plus 2 arms for cheap on. are plus 3 way better than plus 2 cause there is only 2 inch difference? and i can fix that with wheel offset if i realy needed the extra 2 inches. and also im plan on racing some mx and flat track and in the rules it says under 50 inches for production class. plus 3s would put me over woudnt it?

I had plus 2s .. and then moved to plus 3s ..
I find the rear end is alot harder to keep straight with the plus 3s because the rear end slides around .. works to your advantage once you get used to it.
I'd probably go with plus 3s if I had to start over again.

im still not sure on what to get i kind of want the plus 2s cause i got 80 acres of woods full of trails i ride on alot then again i want to race mx next year and want a good handleing quad. but thinking about it im leaning more towards the plus 2s cause it will handle better than stock and i can still ride behind my house and there cheaper and i need the extra money to pay it off still i got 1600 left to pay on it. and im already ordering shocks. if money wasnt a issue i would go with the plus3s in a heart beat.

i'm running +3's with stock offset rims, havn't had 1 problem on any trail system in wisconsin yet. i look at it this way if your gonna make the rear out to 50" why not the front too.

The price is the same regardless whether it's plus 2 or 3.

i went with the plus2s instead cause they were cheaper jp aarms with new lonestar balljoints for 325 shipped from someone on here. i mean if i were to have went with the plus3s i probaly would have bought some 4:1 offset wheels for it and my stockers are 4:1.5 offset that means there is only 1 inch between the two correct me if im wrong.

if you go with plus 2 a arms with 2/3 pfset rims, or if u go with plus 3 a arms with 4/1 rims, u are still gong to get the same width. wut is better is if u race motocross, the bumpsteer is alot less with the plus 3's, so it makes it less fatigueing in raceing. i got long travel hermanns with plus 3 and 4/1 rims, and i personally would never go back to plus 2 arms, or even standard travel for that matter.

IMO if ur goona upgrade suspension... save up for long travel. u will wish u did in the long run.
