Why lengthen them. If you do this your tyres will hit the rear quaters on up travel.
I'm actually in the process of putting longer arms on mine, going from 700mm to 1035mm & in the process moving the diff forward about 20mm. :lol:

Hi cruisers
I lengthened my lower rear arms about 20mm (and made them out of hydraulic pipe....they now hit the exhaust on articulation. With bigger than 35 tyres, it would hit the rear of the wheel arch aswell, so whilst your idea is good, it doesnt really do you any favours when the going gets rough!
