You should do some more investigating. Most top a-arm companies sell +.5" long travel a-arms. If you're looking for XC style stuff, check out Ars-fx. I love their stuff. If I was an XC guy, that's what I'd run.

Take your stock shocks and send them to Derisi Racing. Santo Derisi rebuilds them, makes them either double or triple rate, he can add his rear linkage as well. Those shocks, with stock a-arms and swingarm are a GREAT set-up. I finished2nd in the C class, then 2nd in the B class at the GNCCs the past 2 seasons running his shocks. They are top notch!

You also can beat the price either. It will be WAY less than buying shocks and a-arms, and you will still have a great ride, ,and lots of $$$ left over for other mods. You will love it.

You can find a lot of +.5 arms used, but now most of the companies have switched to a +1 xc arm. There are many companies out there now. About all I can say is get what you want from the start or it will end up costing you a lot of money in the long run.
