Default Blaster Suspension

Hello.
My son has a 2004 Blaster and he was wanting to get some A-arms and possibly a swingarm for his Blaster. What is a good number for extending the swingarm? +2. If I did this with the swingarm, and went +3 +1 with A-arms would this make the bike handle great, or will it make the wheel base to long? He will also be getting a +4 axle.
What is a good swingarm for the Blaster, that has the same set up like the HOnda's for chain adjustment? Lonestar? Roll Design?

His style of riding is recreation, trail, and dunes.
Thanks for the help.

Because the blaster is so short to begin with, a +2 won't be a huge difference. Look in my pics, I have a +4 and is perfect for all around riding. It still handles great in the trails, and is awsome for climbing hills and racing. I would go with +2+1 a-arms to avoid the extra cash on the shocks. You can get some +3 a-arms that arn't long travel, but don't ride as smooth as they should. Seeing as how you are extending your axle 4'', +2's might be the way to go up front.
