Default 2 inch or 4 inch that is the question?

Hey what do you guys think, should i go with a 2 or 4 inch longer swingarm? I do mainly trail riding, but i also drag and dune with the quad. How does the quad handle with the 4 inch longer swingarm? Does it still jump ok with the stock rear shock or will i have to go aftermarket? I want this thing to launch like a rocket but dont want to make the quad unuseable for trail riding. Man do i sound confused, anyway i want the best of both worlds if thats possible. Any input would be appreciated.
THANKS

stock shock will need to be revalved and resprung with even 2", Esecially with 4", i doubt you would do anything but bottom out over every jump.

with your engine i'd go 4" but i mainly ride dunes very little trails. and jumping isn't my favorite, i think that came with the broken wrist. but wheeling is one thing i like but i cant figure out how that would work with the extend swingarm. let us know what you go with.

Do you have to go with a longer brake hose to reach the caliper on a 4 inch longer swingarm?

i believe you do, but that would be a good reason to switch to stainless braided line[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

you can keep the stock suspension unless you are over 265 lbs and then just tighten it up some. But no really big air
