I am debating on A arms but was curious about your guys opinions.I am going to be changing my Burgard +2+1 ST to a Long Travel design.I am debating +2+1 or +2+0.Not sure the difference.I know +3 would be the best handling but it's outta the ??? because i can barely fit it in the truck now and do get hung up 1 in a while in the trails.And are the max ground clearance any good vs reg arms and how does it effect handling????.Do they effect the handling??Heres a few pics!!!I want the best woods/mxer available and am debating between +2+0 or +2+1 and reg or high clearance LT!!!This is the high ground clearance..

Here is my current LT setup.. Jd Performance / PEP ( by far my favorite setup i've used)

THE ARMS ARE FOR SALE!!! $535 OBO.. They are like new and are only 4 months old and were used for TT so they weren't beat at all.

Lsr and Houser both have great arms with "max" clearence designs. I dont think they make a +3 but it is a +2.5

I have used the LSR and I absolutley loved them. Mine were the XC design and were +.5

You will more then likely want to switch to an extended brake line if anything past +2 is used, but I believe you can get away with stock but it will be best to check for any issues once installed.

I do not think the "max" clearence arms handled any differently over a standard arm.

From experience i'd say you can use stock brakelines with +2 arms, but thats with the stock length steering stem. I used all stock brakelines up until i went with a +2 Houser Stem.

the max clearance A arms are for the XC riders. u will be more stable at high speeds and cornering in motocross if u go with the regular LT arms
