Default Raptor ext swingarm

I'm looking to buy a new swingarm. My problem is i cant choose between a +2 or a +4 swingarm? Since i wont have a chance to test either I really need some advice.What are some of you running? How do you like it and would what if anything would you change in retrospect. It will mainly be used for rough- at times tight trail riding and some hillclimbs. What are the pro's and cons between the two? Also what shock would you reccomend. What about sprokets? I was thinking of replacing my old one and wanted to know what you would feel would be the best for my riding area. Mainly woods, hills and mud, since i live near pa and it will never see sand [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Thanks,

You need enough power to easily pull the front wheels for logs and such on the trail. A +4 on a stock or piped engine would not be good. What motor mods do you have?

i love my +4 on my "stock" motor and its all good. sprockets change..need to know what tire your running first. as far as for you unless you hit the hill frequently and have trouble keeping the front end down , you might want to look into a +2. you stock shock will be more and adequate. the father your extend your swingarm, the less jumping you will be doing and the harder to turn

Have you actually ran an internally stock Raptor engine with a +4? Your current sig does not indicate this. I have a Tucker +4 and it works great with my 686.
