i know 3x3 arms are 3 wider and 3 longer and use a 19 1/4 length axle and that 2x3 arms use a stock bus length axle of 18 3/4 but are they 2 back and 3 wide or 3 back and 2 wide?

The more travel you can get, the better. Only had mine running for a few weeks. Lots of quirks to work out and other things to finnish. But, guy's with bad backs were n't sure about having a ride. How ever once they got in and had one, they did n't want to stop and became addicted.
I'm running 3X3's with Empi race prep 930's and FOA 14" dual coil shocks rear. 2 1/2"X1 front trailing arms and 8" travel shock with single 18"coil over spring shock front for 12" travel befor the tie rods hit the frame from top to bottom, (while turned) . Suspension seats, hardly even feel a bump.
Comfortable, fast, and it's a blast! Dave W.

It really depends on how they are built. Normally the first number is the width and the second is the length. I run a 3x2 Mine are 3 inches wider and 2 inches back. It is harder to get a soft ride out of my set up but by only going back 2 inches it takes alot of angle out of my cv joints, thats how i get away with running stock bus joints and never break them. I will shell a tranny before a joint breaks. Ive broke about 10 trannys ans only 1 cv, it sucks it works that way but I deal with it. :D

A side shift trans is a little longer so don't forget to factor that in to help.
