A-Arm confusion

[bmxatv]

If I put a new set of a-arms on my bike do I need to do anything else? Obviously new shocks but is there anything else I need to think about. Is there any companies out there that sell complete kits including shocks or is it safe to assume they all do? Help is much appreciated.

Depending on how wide you go you may need longer brake lines, I would upgrade to stainless steel anyway. Also longer tie rods. And yes pretty much all the major a-arm companies are selling complete kits which is a really nice route to go. If your looking to save some cash try to pick up some 450r shocks and have a suspension company rebuild them for your length a-arm and weight. There is tons of threads on here about that.
