i am also looking at putting extended A-arms on my blaster I was wondering what the advantage of putting extended a-arms on was and what size would you recomend.

or what do you think about the Diamond J kit is it worth it or is it worth the extra money just to get the extended a-arms?
 
when they say +3 +1 is that each arm is 3 inches wider and 1 inch further forward so a total of 6 inches wider? Or does it make the front 3 inches wider overall and 1 inch further forward?

I just put on the Diamond J front widening kit and rear wheel spacers. The front is now 3 inches wider on each side and the rear is 2 inches wider on each side. My Blaster takes turns better now and feels more stable. Only problem I found was the bolts supplied for the lower a arms werent long enough. Other than that it was a simple instalation.
 
I went with the Diamond J kit because I can't afford wider a arms and wont be able to for a while. I needed to get my bike wider and longer because of how big I am. After I get my whole build done and if I have extra money I will look into spending $600 on new a arms.
 
+5 +1s FTW! 12" of plush travel with the Elka Elites I have bolted to them. Haven't really rode it hard yet, but it feels like I am riding on a pillow.
 
I bought burgard 3 +1 they are nice with elkas. i picked the a arms up new for 350, but i wished i had went with works...cheaper and not to impressed with elkas
 
I just got my ASR kit that I ordered. Got it on Ebay for $499. +3+1 arms with camber/castor adjustment, longer tie rods and brake lines. Very friendly place to deal with. The stuff looks great--very beefy, and nicely powder coated. I'm not going to put it on until I get my Banshee axle that I just ordered though.
