I was looking for a fairly inexpensive way to widen my quad a little, and I saw the Durablue Wheel Spacers in Dirt Wheels. Would these be worth buying? I just don't have the money to buy wider A-arms, and a wider axle right now. Each front spacer widens the quad by 1 inch. The rears widen it by 2.5 inches each. This equals a total of 2 inches wider in the front, and 5 inches in the rear. What do you all think? Would they be worth it? It would be about $150 to $170 I believe. Somewhere in that area.

 

I would not use them if you plan to do any jumping. I had some on my 3wheeler and they helped a lot with stability. I think there would be too much stress on your front spindles and the stock axle. For $100 you can get Douglas or ITP offset rims from Rockey Mountain ATV. Save your money and get a LSR or RPM axle, (not dura break).

Hey man i have those one my 98 300ex i love them but i suggest only getting the rear ones because when they are on the front it seems so weaken the suspention i had them allthe way around but i like it better just on the back very stable and surprizingly holds up to jumping very well
with my holdshots on the back and the bandits on the front i can swing it out alsome and gain control when i need to
hope this helps
want more info icq UIN 43170971

how are you going to get 2" in the front and 5" in ther rear? Putting more than 1 on each wheel?

 

1" on both sides in the front add up to 2". 2.5" on both sides in the rear add up to 5".

 

I would like to hear some more info on this subject..

 

I think I might get the spacers for my 400.. I have the cash to get the axel but i want to do it all at once... front and rear. That means new axle,axle carrer,brake holder,a-arms,shocks,beadlock rims, etc. that is like $2500 compared to $250. hummm
