Default Rocker Arms Question - Please help!

I have SLP 1.85 Rocker Arms and I am getting ready to put in a new Cam. Do I need to go back to 1.70 Arms for a Cam swap? Or will everything be alright.

I would definately put the 1.7s back for that cam. If you really want to keep the 1.85's then youll need a custom ground cam - or atleast something much smaller.

Will the stock arms hold or do I need to get aftermarket. And if aftermarket, what brand would you get?

Stockers will hold up fine. Some spill their bearings, but its usually luck of the draw, not necessarily the cams fault. You could always get the harland sharp modded stockers which are a little stronger and wont spill the bearings.
