Default Best extended length for swingarm

I am looking into buying a new swingarm for mx for my Z400 and I was just wondering what would be the best + size to get. I have heard from some people just to get the stock length. What is the best handling,most reliable extended swingarm size to get for mx??? Or should I just get one the normal stock length??
Thanks

Do you plan on getting any more motor mods in the near future??? I would get the Burgard +2 swingarm if you do, but otherwise get the stock length. Good Luck

I'm running a 4'' extension on my QuadRacer. Works very well for me cuz I go to alot of hillclimb competitions and i love it, it really keeps the front end on the ground good. If you like doing jumps and stuff though i dont think i would go any bigger than a +2.

Depending on the type of riding you plan on doing. If you ride trails or mx then +1" would be a good choice any longer would only be helpful for drag racing or hill climbing. But remember that any added length will change the travel of your rear end and the suspension will have to be modified accordingly. (revalved or sprung)

Could you still jump on a 4 inch extd swingarm on a raptor? Like at most 50 - 60 foot sand jumps. Sorry a little off topic but Im wondering
