Default Strongest axle, swing arm, a-arms possible?

Like i said i am limited to trail width if your not limited i would always go wider. wider handles better., if tucker comes out with arms they make a great product like Raptorchick said. other wise all the aftermarket ones are gonna be pretty tough. if your bending a-arms your crashing. i know the kryptons on my warrior I bustedt the ball joints off the left side hitting a tree and then off the right side in a big dune crash. didnt bend the arms. heres things to consider. When front is wider than rear, Turning is easier and sliding rear end is easier and if rear is wider than front it is harder to steer and your likly to push the front in corners. I perosnally preffer front and rear to be the same width. out of anything you do tha will improve the handling its Shox, Tires, n Wheels. another thing if you have the room for longer arms you get more travel wich provides more ability to soak up bumps. longer a arms mean new shox or revalving. or buyin new shox. expensive proposition. when i get new a arms they will be stock width +1 foreward just what i think i need if someone dont make em I will make em myself. Just have to have replacable balljoints.
