Default HELP FAST.

Should I get wheel spacers or extended aarms. I would rather not pay an arm and a leg just to get a couple of arms back. What are the pros and cons of wheels spacers. I need to know before the bid time runs out!

On the rear it will make it easier to bend your axle. For the front read your last post.

It depends on how agressive of a rider you are. If you just want to get rid of the tippyness (I HATE THAT WORD) for casual to moderate riding you will be fine. If you enjoy jumping I would not recommend the spacers because the stock components were designed to handle the stressess that it would encounter right where they have them. All you will be doing is adding leverage which will multiply the chances of bending or breaking things on the big air stuff. But, if your not that hard on your machine you should be fine.

If you do a lot of jumping than go with a wider axle and a-arms, better in the long run.

The ones I'm looking only give +3 total. Look at them and tell me what you think. Will +3 really hurt it jumping?

The axle should hold up unless you bottom out. Once you begin running out of suspension you place the stress in different spots...and then they bend! Blow the dust out of your wallet and buy an axle.

Im talkin about A-arm spacers. I plan on getting new shocks this summer. What exactly do reservoirs do, are they just more convenient to adjust the shocks or what?
