Whats the best way to widen a blaster with extended aftermarket A-arms and a durablue eliminator axle? I mean how many inches out should i get? +2, +4, what? Does the durablue +4" axle match up to +2" A-arms? Also whats a good front A-arm that isnt really expensive? I heard lonestar is pretty good but i need a second opinion before i go and spend all the money. Thanks

yes a +4 axle is equal to +2 a-arms. i would get burgard a-arms. go to moto-man.com they are like half the price of lonestar plus have adjustable camber and lonestar doesn't

Does Moto-man.com have good service? Are they a reliable place to order from and do things pretty quickly?

I'm not sure if you guys have tried this and call me stupid if you have but, have turned the front tires around. The shape of the rims will add on a few inches by turning them around...

Ive tried it but i dont think it is such a great idea for jumping. You can bend the spindles, it does help it handle better but i dont trust it and i think that A-arms are a better way to go. Thanks for the input though
