i would get a arms first.
more expensive but +2 arms and an stock axle is wayyy more effective than a +4 axle and stock arms.

you'll need to buy shocks to go with your extended a-arms. your stock shocks will be too soft because of the increased leverage on them.

I honestly thought that the wider axle was better when I first started out I had wheel spacers on the front and didnt like it so I tried them on the rear and it was much much better for cornering. If you plan on racing mx dont waste your money on cheap a-arms and 450r revalves. save up and get ST or LT front a-arms, and Fox Evols. the evols are good for LT or ST. I have had both on my Suzuki and loved them both but get a G-Force axle off ebay for 170 and get started. Suspension is the most important upgrade for mx

i don't just race mx. i also race xc. and have about 400acres of land. so i ride on the trails i have and the little jumps i've made.

if you dont do huge jumps and dont plan on racing get RAD wheel spacers for the rear. cheaper and then if you catch a tire on a tree at least its not your front and your nerfs should HELP deflect trees
