3YLSYKR Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 So I did a little research and found there are two main types. There are the bigger one piece spacers, and smaller individual wheels stud spacers. The larger one piece spacers are the most money 75-100 per pair front or rear usually and the smaller ones are about 15-20 per set front or rear. The individual ones are much cheaper but do they work as good? Are they as strong? They come in 2" spacing as well as the one piece ones do and many other sizes. How long are the stock wheel studs and what's the biggest spacer we can use? Are there aftermarket wheel studs or hubs with longer studs that are strong/er to run bigger spacers? Reason I'm asking is because I rather do some spacers than spend the time and money with wider axles right now. Thoughts? Input? Experiences? Post up! Quote
BSHEE400 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 i run the solid one piece spacers on the front. they are 1" thick each and haven't had any problems yet lol. i wouldn't trust the stud extender type ones :shrug: Quote
dragbanshee Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Get the wheel spacers "1 piece" I wouldn't trust those individual ones for shit, can't believe they make em. I had 2" rear ones and now their on my sons raptor, think their made by Gforce. Plus they make a new 2" extended hub, which is the way I would go if I was going wide again. Rocky Mountain ATV $80-90.

DallasGDub Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 I run Durablue on the front along with +2 arms. I think they are 1.5 maybe 1 1/4. My bike a a very stable feel to it. Never had issues out of it. Quote
