A-arms and stock shocks

[rs400ex]

I am buying houser +2 arms and a dominator rear axle and i wanted to know if my stock 450r shocks are gonna be ok and not break or have to much stress.
thanks

they should be just fine. i know someone who has a 450r that has +1 a arms and had all his shocks rebuilt and says they are great.

I am not getting my shocks rebuilt when i get the a arms but i will down the road so do you think that the stock shocks will be ok till then?

Thanks

yes, they will be fine. i have +3s on stock shocks and my shocks seem to be holding up just fine

hey man,do u have any pics of the +3's with stock shocks

I put +3's on with stock 450 shocks and from the extra leverage it made the shocks to soft for big jumping and droped the ride hight about 2".

im waiting on several parts (esp my other asv lever. been waiting forever..) but this shows how high it is, +2s would prob be better

but yea, the quad sits higher, and the shocks are WAYY too soft. im going LT soon so this will do for now, but if you get wider a arms and plan on keeping them, imo it would be smart to get rebuilds or something shortly after.

Nice set up man - like your front end looks badass - how wide is the front and back ? - i just put 450r's on my 400 and they are very stiff - i have stock a-arms and the height adjuster all the way up - i have a set of viper +2 coming in next week - that might fix most of my problem with the stiffness of the shocks ?
