Well, there is definitely a lot to choose from out there, so its kind of hard what to say is best...basically your +2 a-arms be 2inchs longer than your stock a-arms..you'll have quad will be a total of 4 inchs wider...if you get +2 +1 a-arms your still getting 2 extra inches on each side, but your also moving them 1inch forward, so your quad will be a little bit longer...I think I'm right..correct me if im wrong peeps...

I've abused a set of Houser long travel +3 a-arms for almost a year and they are holding up great. One of the bottom ball joints was getting loose so I went ahead and replaced all 4, less than $150 and the a-arms are tight as new. Their new bottom ball joints have a protected grease zerk, I'll bet these ones last for a couple of years if I keep them lubed. My a-arms are silver-vein finish, a very durable powder coating that's holding up great. My only complaint with Houser a-arms are that the little chrome caps that cover the bottom shock mount fall off. The Houser tech said to put them in with RTV this time and they won't fall out. If you want the best, be prepared to spend some money and put Houser on your short list. I've also heard good things about Gibson, they make a killer long travel front end.

Alba Pro-Comps have held up really well in the dez racing. I haven't had to touch 'em since I put 'em on. Well, except for the occasional lube-job.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

You can get armadillo arms +2 for less than most and they're every bit as good if not better with lifetime warranty.
