Newby Here, If I were to put +1 or +2 A arms on my 05 TRX, do I have to also replace the rear axel as well or can I just do the front end and leave the back end alone?

You could do that but then your rear wheels will be narrower than the front, which would look funny and it wouldnt handle as well. If you didnt want to spend the money on a new axle you could always look into wheel spacers. They are definately not as good, but they will get you by.

I did my 416's front end almost a year before I bought my axle. It rode fine liek that, but it does handle better with the back widened as well. Just do the front first since its more money. Then you can do the axle later.
I'd get your shocks revalved and change that rear link. That link was the best upgrade I did to my 04 450r by far.

I have +2 aarms on my with a stock axle. It rides just fine. I plan on getting an axle though, but you'll be fine.

Can I also use the stock front shocks, or should I replace them or have them revavlved?

If your a small guy like I am 5foot 5, 130 lb's. Yes. Otherwise you should get them revalved.

Send them to GT Thunder and have Laz do his magic on them.
