Posted by: Ebrown

alot of people on here will frown on spacers, dura blue makes a pair.. supposedly i hear that they are unsafe?

I'm running the G Force. They work for me with no problems. They are billet aluminum and a bargain.

i hav durablues on the front an rear i love them no problems at all an i ride them hard and also jump soo...

I saw those the other day and was thinking that they'd be alot better then spacers. But it looks like they only sell them for the rear. That would be nice if they made them for the front too.

I didnt know there was such a thing. I might have to get a pair whenever they have em in stock again..

I'm one of those anti wheel spacer snobs.

Imagine the effect if you had 2 foot thick wheel spacers.

Well 2" thick wheel spacers are just less of the same negative effect.

im with you garandman
but its one of the few alternatives to mucho money with wider a-arms

normally i agree about the spacers being kinda unsafe, but the extended hubs look alot safer. Or at least the one piece spacers look safer then the 4 extended bolt looking ones. Does anyone think the extended hub kind are safer then normal ones?

That is true.

I'm modding 450R shocks and going with +1 a-arms, and I'm in for $1,200.

And you can spend ALOT more than that.

I'm also one of those people that hates wheel spacers but I dont think that they are all that bad in the rear. I personally don't even understand why they make them for the front though. When you put spacers up front you are taking away from the performance of your quad.

how does it take away from the performance?

I use spacers on the rear of my quad. I bought them at magic racing and they are solid billet. I understand the thought that spacers are not as good as a new axle, but the cost of a good axle is crazy. For around a hundred bucks, spacers work fine for me. Also sometimes, such as dune riding spacers are even ok on the front, you need to be wider to dune. So better to have spacers than nothing at all.
