stock shocks with +2 long travel arms?

[SheeRider]

ive searched and its turned up nothing. i was looking into getting +2 lt a arms for my 2006 450r, but i dont have the cash to get the longer shocks now. will that setup even fit and work if i get the shocks revalved and resprung?

[fastredrider44]

No, it's gonna sit way too low.

[TRX450RACER174]

X2 unless u want to ride TT only it's gonna sit to low.

[pro-rider46]

i think it will work if you get your shocks setup for that.

[Eastcoast08]

You'll sit like TT rider, even if you get them redone your still gonna be slammed on the ground. Hold out till you can get the LT shocks

it will work with regular travel +2 -arms, but it's not really good on the a-arms, idk if it's depending on brand or not, and it also is the way you ride. My experience with stock shocks with +2 burgard a-arms ended upbending the lower arms b/c the armscouldnt handle all of the bottoming out that my stocks were doing. so all I can tell you is that when you do it, to not make the shocks compression softe for ride comfort, turn it up and deal with ituntil you have money to get new shocks

Dude he wants to put stock shocks on long travel arms not just +2 arms.

You can not convert stock shocks to LT.

i have burgard +2+1's on my 06, with stock shocks, and once i got them dialed in, have had no problems whatsoever

Your arms are STD travel right?

[SHIFTx450]

yes

[TRX450RACER174]

He's is asking about Stock Shocks with L/T arms it wont work.

[300extreme#8]

You might be able to rigg up something so it will work.Look up lifts for older 4x4 atvs. A buddy of mine had an old 300 4x4 honda with a 3 inch shock extender that made the shock 3 inches longer and pushed the quad up. You case, you might be able to get something like that and make the stock shocls work. It won't help your ride any but it would be ridable!! Let me know what you think!

how mutch better are a longtravle setup?

now im using 2+ std arms, and was about to buy new shocks to them. but then i started to think about sell those arms, and buy longtravle arms and shocks insted :S
is it worth the money to get longtravle?

FMX and MX riding

[TRX450RACER174]

Well L/T is kinda a misconception u really dont gain any travel. Longer shocks allow for more stroke which makes a plusher ride and will also tend to stay cooler and fade less and will also help especially in a condition of flat landing or packing something, I have rode and raced both Std travel and L/T and i think if your going to be racing M/X,X/C or Desert L/T really helps.
