As we speak my shocks are on their way to C&D Racing to get re-valved and re-sprung. The shocks will arrive Monday and I have to know by that time weather or not I want them set for longer a-arms or not.

What in all your infinite wisdom do you think? I mostly ride rough trails and some on the dunes. The trails I ride on are wide enough for my friends 450r with +2’s so I know they would be wide enough for me. I am a somewhat aggressive rider but no expert. So would they be a waste of my money or would ride quality benefit enough to justify the extra expense of some lsr +2’s.

What do you think???

If I don’t do them now I probably would never do them because I’d need to get my shocks redone again and I hate wasting money on redundancy.

i would if i had the $$ just for kicks. it would be nice to have it wider anyway, except when i load it on the trailer, i dont think mine would fit next to the rincon with another 4" on it. lol

it's not that I have extra money I was going to get an 10.6 je piston but that money would be going to the a-arms. Its more of a trade.

get the +2 a-arms, you wont regret it. alot less body roll and more stable in the turns. and if your very concerned with the width then you can get some 4:1 wheels to bring the width back in closer to stock, but handle much better.

A good suspension will make a rider better than an engine thats all hopped up. A high comp. piston is nice tho :D

It's better to have suspension anyways, after all you can have all the power in the world but if you can't get it to the ground your not getting full potential.
