call steve at smc fabrication. 475 for standard travel with the best warranty out there. Any problems whatsoever he will take great care of you. Me and my friends have been beating on these arms for over three years and the only problem arose when my buddy pegged a tree and bent the upper arm and steve sent him a new one with no questions asked.

Houser would be the most known brand around that price that has a-arms for the stock shocks.

www.hsdracing.com makes good a-arms for decent prices that will use the stock shocks. Might try him. He built a nice set for my Banshee.

You said you are going to be using the stock shocks, but want LT a-arms?

You need LT shocks for LT a-arms =)
Or else your quad will be like 3" off the ground, the stock shocks will be way too short.

You will have to buy new a-arms again once you upgrade to LT shocks.
