the ones i'm thinkin of pickin up are houser long travels.. i think gt thunder has an adjustment they do to extend travel if they wont work in stock form with an LT a arm setup..

anyone know for certain before i buy the lt's? they're an insane deal.. otherwise i'll pick me up some +2 burgards with the discount goin on

lt arms require around an 18.75" shock. 450r shocks are 16.5 eye to eye. they will not work. stick with standard travel arms.

It would probably work for flat tracking because your a-arms are going to be sitting flat or parallel to the ground with the shocks fully extended. Not ethical to mix long travel and standard travel parts though thats why they are 2 different things with different sized parts.
