Lone star makes tie rods with different lengths. +2, +3. Most extended a arm companies have tie rods for what ever size you buy. What size are the a arms?
You could use the stock rods with extenders, but I have first hand experience of the extenders bending.
Definitely! They r sooo worth it in the long run. I've had bad experience with extensions too. You can just get the tubes and use your own ends.
i dont know it doesnt say im lookin at these......

id email the seller and see what size they are first. the problem with the light weight steel tubes is that they do bent. mine are 4130 chrome moly steel and ive ridden thru some pretty ugly stuff with LOTS of branches! theyve taken a beating and still help their shape. the came with the +3 ASR a arms but they DO sell them separate for like 80 bucks or so. you could prolly re-use those tubes if you COLD straightened them. NO HEAT! and the may do for just trails with no big jumps or impacts...something to look into....
i asked him yesterday and still have not gotten the answer, aslo i would need extended brake lines right?
You can get away with the stock lines but you may have to re-route them.
I have repositioned the lines where they go into the calipers, taken them out of the locator/guide and pointed them forward..
They are more prone to being hit by rocks and sticks which could cause damage to them, but where I ride is debris free, so I am not concerned.

yeah, that might be a problem with hydros. ask a few of the guys running +3 and hydros and see what they needed?
