Im not sure which a-arms i want to use on my lsr hybrid build and the only company that i can find that makes a 250r +1 LT A-arm is gibson!!! I would think that there has to be someone else but not sure who else made them. Let me know thanks

I just bought a brand new set of +1 Forward +1 length, LT arrms from Houser for my 250r XC build. FWIW. She told me they had 3 sets left over. Awesome stuff.

The link on there site doesn't work, but they have them. Talk to Jen if you are interested. Red bottoms and chrome uppers I believe.

JD performance and Laegers make them.

Houser might be cheaper though.

Troy just curious if you got them for the closeout price they were listing them for before $300ish or the newer $500 price?

I got them for around 500 something, I bought a new swinger and stem all at the sametime for a package deal. I'd just offer them 300 for them, they'd probably take it. IDK.

Thanks for the replies guys!!

Also will the houser and or laeger work with the axis 18 3/4" shocks that i have?

I am trying to figure out which a-arms i can use that are a +1 LT or if i have to even a +2 LT a-arm that use an 18 3/4" shocks???

The only thing that would use 18 3/4 shocks is a narrow front frame. Any LT a-arm will use 19.25 to 20" depending on tire size.

The Houser +1 Lt use a 19" shock. I also bought a set from them on clearance. Im sure an 18.75 shock would work fine

i talked to axis and houser and they said that the houser +1 LT does use 19" shocks and that the 18 3/4" shocks will work.

But im wondering if there is also another option of a-arms for me to use with the 18 3/4" shocks that i have(Laeger, or JB Racing maybe)

Does anyone know what length shock JB and Laeger uses with a +1 or even +2 LT a-arm for a 250r? Also where would i find these a-arms?

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

I think laeger uses a 19.25" shock

thanks for all your help guys!!


C41Xracer- thanks, I found out that laeger does use a 19.25" shock so i just have to figure out which pair of shocks will be better to use.

I have axis 18 3/4" that have just been serviced for my weight,etc.

Also have a pair of 19.5" axis that are setup for motorcross and would need to be setup for my weight

Which shock will be an easier fit, either making the 19.5" shorter or lengthening the 18 3/4"???? What does this involve within the shocks?

Any info. would be appreciated thanks

I would think they would both be about the same price to fix They both
need the shaft replaced. If I remember correctly the 18 3/4 shock
Is for LT a arms for a yfz but I could be wrong. I would just try to trade
The shocks for what you need
