Default Raptor suspension upgrades

I am going to buy some +2 +1 a-arms for my Raptor. I plan on using Works shocks with rezzies to replace the stockers. What about the swingarm? Most oversized swingarms are +2 in length. Is it too much to stretch the wheelbase by three inches overall? I don't really care for drag racing and I like to wheelie, so I'm worried it might be more difficult to loft the front end with such a long wheelbase. I guess if I didn't weigh 210 it wouldn't be a problem, but that's not gonna change anytime soon.

I assume, from your handle, that you race MX. I have +3/+1 a-arms and a +2 swingarm. I could really tell a difference in handling after the +2 swingarm, much more stable in rough stuff, easier to control the front end lift (but will still wheelie at will), and jumps much more level. I think the +2 swingarm was an excellent choice for my mods on a MX track.
