I'm currently looking for extended trailing arms for my new project. What are the pros and cons of 2x3s and 3x3s? I'm not wanting to go crazy on them just yet. I also am wondering about axles for both of them. Any help would be great. |

Pro's 2x3's use bus axles. 3x3's = more suspension travel. Con's 3x3 axles cost more. 3x3's make the buggy 2 inches wider. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk How much abuse will the bus axle take? I've got a stock 1600dp and a 3 rib. I'm probably gonna run a 33" mud tire not sure which one yet. |

They will take a lot. I run them with a 2165 stoker with dual delorttos 3 rib just went from 36 to 35 inch tires and flip it half the time I ride. I been running the same pair for 10+ years and no problems with them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My thoughts are longer axles give you more travel. Think of it in extremes. If the axle was 20 feet long versus a axle 1 foot long with the same cv joint angle. The 3x3 axles are longer than the 2x3 axles. The cv joint is the limiting factor. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

I know there a lot more to it with wheel offset and brakes but just didn't realize u could go so big. That's got me leaning more towards 2x3s now. Lol |

I'm not sure about cutting the nub off but If I'm not wrong with 2x3 or 3x3s you can run up to 36 inch tires a lot of people around here run 36 buckshots Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I run 36 inch buckshots on my 2 seater with 2x3s and have about an inch between the tire and the stob. |
