I wouldnt even bother powder coating the stock arms, they are junk compared to anything aftermarket.

Id paint them.

Walsh, lonestar, houser, etc are all top notch and $$$. Yes they are good but you really pay for it. Id look into JD performance or burgurd,. They are cheaper but build quite nice.

Are you planning on widening the front or do you just want adjustable from arms? FYI: +1 means +1" on both sides, +2 is 2" on both sides and +3 is 3" on both sides. So each side gains that measurement.

Stock EX width is about 45 inches, anything over 48-50 inches will make it hard to ride on most trails.

+1 is what you want for cross country, anything wider is WAY to tight on most trails.
