I would'nt go any longer than 4", other wise you'll just plow and that will slow down you holeshoot times.

Depends on how much HP you are pushing.
For general use, I'd say 4" is plenty.
I have seen stictly drasters with swingarms 12" over before, but you wouldn't be able to trail ride with them![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
