robert.b.west Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am going to be ordering some wicked a arms and i cant decide if i want to get +2 or +3. I ride Probably 90% dunes and 10% wide trails. I would just like some input on maybe what you have or like better. Pros or cons. I would also like to see some pictures of front ends with +2 or +3 if someone would not mind posting. It would be a lot of help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogs Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 +2 is plenty big enough in my opinion. Get an axle to match though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same price and you get a little more stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I love my +2 arms. I do the same... I got a set of off set front rims so it adds another inch on both side. And then when I ride the trails im good when I run the stock rims. I still clear most of the trees. But when you order the arms you need to make sure and see if the arms are LT or ST shocks.

robert.b.west Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Also what kind of axle would i need to match +3's. I was planning on getting a G-force or what ever it is called. Would this be wide enough or would I need to get some kind of offset rear wheels to make up the extra inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i am leaning toward the +3's because i just dont want to get some and not be wide enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 As for the axle i know my +4 is just a hair over my +2+1 arms. I have a +6 on my raptor from lonestar. But it all depends on what rim your wanting to run. If you want to stay stock size with the +3 arms then I really dont think you will see much a of diff if you have a +4 axle.

bbcmudtruck Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 You should go with the +3s and get 4x1 inset wheels. Meaning that when you bolt your wheels on, you will be closer to +2. Inset wheels will allow your ball joints to be closer to the center of the wheels. This will improve your handling and stability at the same time. Here is a picture of +2+1 arms with 3x2 (stock offset) wheels. Here is the picture of the rear, the axle is a GForce and it is set at +2.

robert.b.west Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well I thin i am going to go with the +3's i should order them tomarrow. Thanks for all of the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRIM RIPPER Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Go with +3's, then get 4 and 1 offset front rims, this will bring you back to a +2 front end but be easier to steer the bike (will put your outer tie rods closer to your wheels centerline) Also you will want to have your rear set up about an inch to a 1/2 more narrow than your front end, take that into consideration when buying the axle, make sure it has the removable spacers and all.

robert0762 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 i thought stock offset was 4+1 i bought a set of holeshots from cycle world and they sat wider then my stock yamaha rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The stock offset is 3x2. Here is an article on how to measure backspacing. http://www.triumphspitfire.com/backspace.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
