Default Got a dilemma

Recently put some Yfz 450 shocks on the front of the Raptor and they are incredible compared to the stockers. My problem is i would like to go with some +2 a-arms soon and have always heard that it is not a good idea to run stock shocks on wider arms. I guess my question is will the Yfz shocks hold up on wider arms? I jump a lot so i need these to be able to handle it.

do you know the stock lenght/width of the 450's a-arm v.s say a +2 aftermarket pair for the rappy, they may not be that much of a difference. If there isnt then i dont think it would hurt anything. But, yes i have heard that its not safe to run stock shocks on + a-arms, but then again those shocks arent stock for the rappy...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Oh and one more thing, what exactly is all that bumping stuff about?
