I love my new Raptor 700r but find it to be a little squirrly in the dunes being used to a Quadzilla 500 with the wider front end. I have heard of spacers(Dura blue and CRJ performance) but not sure if anyone has tried them and has feedback on what brand and/or what width(1.5 or 2.5). Do I just do the front or both front and rear? The bike is strictly a duner and no flat tracking. Any feedback/experience is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Of those two choices, I think 1.5" would be a good size. 2.5" is more stress on the lugs. Id like to see a smaller size, around an inch.

It ok to do just the fronts, or both. If you did just rears youd have oversteer.

The expensive and durable way to widen the quad is wider arms and rear axle.

 

You could go to a dune tire on offset wheels. You pick up quite a bit of width that way, around 5 inches on the early style Raptor, probably similar on yours.

 

Avoid the spacers. Try a good steering stabilizer instead.

 

I agree with these other guys, I wouldn't use the spacers, and if you do I would use the smaller width ones. They create a lot of stress on your lugs, axle, etc... Also if you jump at all, you stand a good chance of breaking something using the spacers. It costs more, but the extended A arms and longer axle is the way to go.
