Who makes the best +2 or +3 standard travel arms. I want to do mx next year thinking about doing that over xc racing. I want a set of standard travel +3 or +2 arms. I want some that are high quality. Who makes the best one in standard travel?? I might go for some LT if they are in my budget if I have to get new shocks I will get some TCS. I have elkas now but dont want to spring for the elkas since I am a beginner.

jacob, as a beginner you can get away with +1 if you have them or just flow the wheels around. Once you get comfy and know that you want to do it then invest in something better. Gotta get a bigger axle though. I am running +1 in the front and +4 in the back and it is awesome!! Handles great. Now I just gotta loose some weight as I tend to pack the dirt on my landings.

I went with +2 ASR arms, because I got them used. I would go with +2, that way if you decide you wan tto trail ride you can just put some 4+1 offset rims on. and go with a moto axle from brad, can't beat the price.

I am clearign jumps I used to case because I can corner faster from being wider, and I am also more confident... funny how that works.

What is your price range? What is the MAX you would be willing to spend?
