i was wondering what would be best to do first. i found a good deal on some +2 a-arms, but would i really need the +2 in the front. i dont race and i ride dunes almost exclusivly.

would it be better to just get the +3 lsr axle for back because i want to get tripple rate shocks for the front.

so its either shocks for the front and lsr axle or

+2 a-arms and the longer shocks for the front

thanks.

front end man...do that first... thats where most of your handling characterics come into play...and even though its gonna be more expensive in the long run...itll be worth it...

will i be able to run stock shocks till i get my works tripple rates??. i hear that going wider in the front is better than goin wider in the back from the posts ive read.

Go with the front end first. If you went wider in the rear first it'd handle like crap.. because when you think about it it'd ride like a 3-wheeler at times.. (if Im thinking right?:huh )

DO IT ALL AT ONCE IF YOU CASN AFFORD IT. BUT IF NOT DO THE FRONT END FIRST.

do the back end first. your quad will look goofy with the front all extended.widening the rear makes a bigger difference in handling than you would think. plus you can't run stock a-arms on extended a-arms cuz they will be way to soft. and you will need longer brake lines if you got +2 +1 arms.

i AGREE WITH EVERYTING THAT GUY SAID EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT HE SAID YOUR STOCK BRAKE LINES WONT REACH. WHICH IS FALSE BECAUSE IM RUNNING +2+2 A-ARMS AS WE SPEAK WITH STOCK BRAKE LINES

Since you can get a deal on the front, do that first. If it will be a long time until the axle, get yourself some spacers for the rear to hold you over....

well i dont really care if it looks kinda goofy, just care how it performs. and the axle is only +3 so isnt that 1 1/2 inches wider on each side. and the front is already and inch less wide than the axle so it would only get about a inch wider than the axle now if i ad the +2 a-arms.

Get the front end first, but I would get the axle when you can afford it too.

oh i thought they were for your 400ex my bad...
i would say get the axle first i did and it doesnt handle like a three wheeler and i can turn much faster...
but if the a-arms are cheap and in good shape go with them first
