JasonsBanshee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think most go with +2+1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigborebanshee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yea +2 wide is enough.But if you go +3 you can always go to a 4+1 offset rim,which will bring you back to about the width of +2 a-arm setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you ride in the trails go with 2+1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullthrottle02 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I would measure it out and see what you can go. If you can pull off the +3's and not be wider than the rear I would go that way. I have 20x11x10 tires on the rear and I could have gone +3 and been right at the same with as the rear. Not going to matter if the front end squeezes through if the rear wont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 the +1 forward you will not really tell a diff any at all But I have only gone to +2 arms and always love them. I go for an offset rims for the dunes to make it a +3 and the reg tires for trail riding to keep those extra 2 for the trees. But if you go wide up front. Make sure you go wide in the back and your bike will handle like it is on rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I forgot 2 mention that the 3" kit came with long travel shocks, 2" more travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 LT shocks are a nice penny if you know what im sayn. The more travel uses the standard travel shock. You will have a better and easier time finding shocks for the +2 arms. and if you come to a pinch and need some shocks to get by, the yfz 450 shocks will work just fine.

BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 How wide will my bike be with the 2" or with the 3"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 i have +3+1 LOVE THEM ride mostly trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 well the +2 = to be 2 inch wider on one side. So you will have a total of 4 inches over stock. +3 is 6 inches over stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If you ride tight trails, then +3s are going to give you a bit of trouble. What offset are your front wheels? To achieve the best handling, go with a 4x1 inset on the front wheels and roll with a set of +3 arms. You will have to replace your brake lines if you go with +3s, whereas you wont have to with the +2s. It will also be more imperative to have your shocks valved for +3s vs +2s. Just some things to consider. Either way you will be making a nice improvement over stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
