I am building a 250r geom. lsr hybrid and want to set it up for more of a cross country setup. What would be my best bet? Either standard travel or long travel? I am going to go with custom axis front and rear whether it would be standard or long travel. Also what length a-arms will i need with each travel? Any information would help. thanks, josh

I'm not sure what the LSR frame widths are compared to stock but you'll probably want to run standard travel a-arms for a little more clearance. Long travel is fine if your tracks aren't rutted up.

I think you'll want to be no much more than 45" wide, whether that be with +1's and stock offset wheels or +2 with 4-1 offset wheels.

I've had +2 A-arms on a stock frame and it comes in right around the same width as the rear in stock.

Yes, the blue anodized frame.

yeah that was a good buy, I was bidding on that one too, but spaced off what day it was done and didn't get back to it in time, congrats on your buy, and good luck with the build.

Thansk 250Renvy, will the standard travel be alright even though the no link rear shock will be i think 17 1/2 inches. If not what length front shocks should i use.

Any other info. will be helpful. thanks, josh
