hay dug how much more travel will you get out of a LT arm with 4:1 wheels with the standard 16 inch shock? I want a little more travel and but going with 19in shocks are high and not really cost effective for me when i am trying to spread my money around and get the most out of my money. Also for a long travel rear suspension how would you do that since cannondale dont have a linkage in the rear???

I'm not sure how much travel you will gain (if any). You will be limited by your shocks. What you do gain is a better steering quad that ends up stock width. As a side benefit, if you ride some mx, and woods, keep a set of 3+2 wheels with 20" tires mounted on them for mx, and you will be around 48 inches like that.

yes, your ride height is controlled by the shocks. Be sure when you order your shocks to tell them you want stock ride height.

Will these fit on my stock ohlins suspension? I have an 03 speed, If they do I will definiatley buy a set. Also, I have PRM a-arm skids, will they fit these a-arms or am I going to have to mod them a little to make them fit.

I am pretty sure that they would work with your stock ohlins, because they are normal travel a-arms with the long travel ball joints. It will make your valving softer though because they are +1, so you may have to get your shocks re-valved.

What color would you want? I will talk with Houser about building some more, but it will all depend on them, I can not afford to sit 5 sets of these on my shelf at the moment.
