Hi guys what is the difference between MX +3 Up 1 and the longtravel ones. American Star.

i ride tracks and there is a few jumps. what i want to know is if id be better with the +3 Up 1 or the longtravel but im not sure but does the long travel lower quad?
 
they are both the same +3+1 a-arms, just the long travels have the lower mount further out to allow longer shocks, supposedly asr will make them for any length shock you choose. 16" sumthin such as the yfz/trx 450 front shocks being the most popular.
the standard travel and LT's should both allow the same ride height if the LT's are built specifically for the shock length used

cheers mate :) might be either swapping or buying stage 3 or 4 elkas there for long travel arms. but just wasn't sure if they ones lowered quad or not. thanks :)
