depends on how heavy you are as to whether or not you'll get away with it.
I've run +2 arms with stock yammy shocks before for MX and it'll help soften them up a bit. If you do longer arms first you can still fit aftermarket shocks later.

gor for +2 and with your weight you'll be pretty right.
stay away from spacers for MX especially for riding at AJS, you'll have a bent axle before you know it.

running std shocks on LT arms will lower the front of your quad 2-3 inches so probably not the go for MX.

LoneStar Racing, Laegers and Houser are probably the most recognised A arm brands here, however LBM has some of the ATV Fourplay arms now (which are similar construction to Laegers)
LSR are the most adjustable of the lot. Laegers and Houser are similar designs but I'd pick the Laegers for strength over the two.
Walsh Racecraft are a very well recognised brand in the US and some guys here have them but they are hard to get and usually more exe than the other brands.
