i weigh 135 pounds and i just moved up from a blaster to a trx450. Do you think if i bought +3 a-arms that i would have to get new shocks. money kinda tight so if i will have to i will just go with +2

I think you are confusing this with long travel. You can still buy standard travel +3 arms, in which case stock shocks would still work, though they may be very soft.

he is really light tho (like myself) my geuss is he could adjust the preload to get them to work decent, but i would still suggest a revalve as soon as you can to get them right

yea im not getting long travel. I was just going to get a-arms for it right now because im not racing it till next season tho i will practice on it a little. So, im pretty sure i can ride stock shock with +3.?

im 120lbs without gear on and my stock shocks on +3 a arms kinda suck. if you do get +3's start saving for rebuilds or something right after you buy the a arms.
