Default Front Wheel Spacers not for MX

Hey guys. I would like to add wheel spacers to the front of my Polaris 400L. I have them in the back, however if I add them to the front, then the front will be wider than the back. Any problems and/or feedback would be nice.

By the way, I don't plan on racing MX. I have read where wheel spacers up front don't do well for MX. Thanks.

One problem will be that you will be changing the leverage on your shocks which will probablyshow up in the form of bottoming easier.

one ting is u always want your rear and front end to be the same width or u want the front to be wider than back. if your rear is wider than your frunt u will clip stuff n peoples tires easier cuz u cant see your rear.

and spacers r strong if u get the right ones. strongest ones out are www.crjperformance.com
spacers cause the front to wonder more and do make the shocks bottom a lil easier cuz the extra leverage.

but spacers arnt for mx. they cause exra stress on the quad. cause stress on a-arms/axel/bearings/ball joints/spendals/

but i been jumping and bottoming out all last summer cuz i didnt have my new shocks. well only thing that happed so far is a broke axel after running em for 2.5years and the left front wheel bearings went bad too.

it also causes the bars to get ripped out of your hands easier if u hit a rut or sumthin. but i run em for now and i like em. nuthen rilly bad happend yet n i bottom out at 15 ft high of air so i say their not to bad. and crj spacers cant bend or break.
