TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Just wondering what everyone's opinion on which would be better for hilly woodland trail riding, +2 or +3 A arms? Also I need a new swingarm should I stick with stock or go with something different? Edited March 30, 2014 by TroyBrock Quote
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 Oh, I should have put riding on mostly private property where trails can be as wide as I make them, and most of the state trails around here fit an outlander with 2 feet to spare so I'm not worried about width, just wondering which performs better.

Derrickc14 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I just got a +4 swinger and I have +2 arms. I love it in the woods and perfect for hill climbs if you do any. Quote

I'm not doing any "hill climbs" but there is definitely some steep stuff I'm gonna be riding on. The price for the +2 and +3 set up are exactly the same, They're fullflights on ebay if anyone has any useful input on that. Quote
special06shee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 +3+1 arms with a 4x1 front offset rim is kick ass setup Quote
special06shee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 If you want a decent cheaper arm, look into ASR. They offer nice ball joints with their arm and i believe they are only a couple bucks more them full flight. Quote
Glenyboy Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Don't bother with full flight, they use crap heims. Quote
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 The set I was looking at was $500 for +3 +1 A arms, braided brake lines +3, tie rods and new tie rod ends. And fullflights come with a lifetime warranty which I like. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BANSHEE-3-1-A-ARMS-11-CLRS-3-BRAKE-LINES-TIE-ROD-ENDS-/271435597059?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f32d28503&vxp=mtr Quote
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 Don't bother with full flight, they use crap heims. I read that the fixed the crap heim problem Quote
special06shee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 These use heims but are WAY better then full flight. You can actually contact asr and swap out the heims with their ball joints before initial purchase Quote
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) http://www.ebay.com/itm/360889011404 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BANSHEE-3-1-A-ARMS-11-CLRS-3-BRAKE-LINES-TIE-ROD-ENDS-/271435597059?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f32d28503&vxp=mtr So it's between these 2 now, Both offer lifetime warranty, only difference is brake lines and the American Star is $13 to get white (Which I want) It also seems that the American Star set does not come with the hardware to install and I need the hardware.

bansman76 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Not meaning to hijack but what about +2 arms with the 4x1offset wheels ? That a good setup ?! Quote
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 I'm going with +3 but it's between the American Star and the Fullflights. The fullflights seem like a better deal to me. I'm going to be running stock wheels for now. Quote
