I'm considering upgrading my Brute and I'd love to hear what setups you all are using. Has anyone installed a lift or arched A-arms? Which brand did you go with, and how have they been performing on the trails? I'd really appreciate any feedback or pictures you might have
 
I'm also interested in a lift kit, but now you got me thinking about the arched arms. What are the benefits and is it worth it?

Hm..definitely do it. but watch the axle angles depending on how aggressive you go lol cos I've seen guys push it too far and start chewing through CVs
 
I had a similar discussion last year about my Brute. In the end, I went for a 2" lift along with arched SuperATV A-arms. Honestly, the extra ground clearance from those arms made a more significant difference than I had anticipated, especially when tackling rocky creek beds and bumpy trails. The ride remained smooth too. A friend of mine decided to skip the arms and just went for the lift, and he's already bent a lower control arm on a tough trail. So, if you're planning to ride on rough terrain, I'd definitely say that arched arms are worth the investment.

You'll get a lot of opinions on this, but for a Brute, I think a 2" Highlifter lift is pretty common and generally reliable for most trail riding without getting too extreme.
As for A-arms, unless you're really pushing the limits with huge tires and aggressive mudding, you might find the stock ones are sufficient with a lift.
If you do go aftermarket, I'd also suggest going with SuperATV like @QuadSavage.
It has some decent arched A-arms that get good reviews for durability.
Just be prepared for a bit more wear on your CV joints with any lift.
