Default Wider front end than rear

If I go with +1 a-arms will i need an extended axle or will I be ok. Cause if you think about it +3 a-arms usually run with a +4 axle so theory extending the front by 6" and the rear by 4".

Dont forget that most extended axles like the lsr axcaliber can be set to +2 or +4.

I run Houser +1 Lt fronts with the stock length axle and its just slightly wider in the front with 4:1 offset wheels without any problems. Do remember that not all a-arms are the same exact length either and this will change with MFG. The LT set up is actually +1.375 per side so the +1 is the accepted name tag but not the actual length etc.

You should have similar results since zuki pretty much just copied the ex frame anyhow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] just bustin.

With +1 front you can buy narrower offset wheels 4/1 as mentioned and be almost stock width - another option would be wider offset rear wheels to get it wider a few inches....
