A Arm / Shocks question

Okay guys looking for some help on this. 

 

Doing a strip down to frame with new pc on the frame.  In the middle of putting it back together and am going to put +2+1 a arms on it.  What if any negatives and reworks would result if I went to use YFZ450 shocks on it??

 

I hear from one manufacturer of a arms that it's gonna put the bike too tall in the front end, naturally he's pushing Elka's as a fix.  How much is true, how much is bullshit?   Thanks.

Really they will put the bike way up in the air and make you feel like you're on pogo sticks. Some guys claim it is a solid up grade but then again the only fellas I ever saw praise it are guys who have never rode anything else. Some fellas did manage to sort their 450 front ends out but it was a ton of headache and the threads with solutions are kinda vague. There are a couple companies who have came out with an a arm specifically for the 450 shocks on a banshee and it sort of helps. If I were you, sell the 450 shocks and cunt punt the guy pushing the Elkas down your throat. There is an awesome amount of used shocks popping up all the time on here in the for sale section. Just make sure you buy made to work around your weight and is set up for your length a arms. A used set of works will be more then fine for your first upgrade
