I read that the wheel spacers ad leverage to the rear axle and make it easy to bend. Do you guys think It would still be easy to bend a heavy duty durablue? They say it is supposed to be 2-2.5 times stronger than stock. Let me know what ya think.

I really don't think that they will bend your axle unless you catch some big air.

Sometimes we go pretty big but not like the huevos videos or anything but I was just wondering since this axle is much stronger than the stock one if I'd be all set or if I should worry???? That axle on e-bay is the same thing as mine.
In case anybody noticed my signature I now have .190s and holeshot xcrs instead of .160 and razrs. A buddy of mine was selling his mo so I traded him the rear tire and rims and the front rims. I had gotten mine used so they were a little old and his are only a month old but since he's selling he didn't care and I might ad the xcrs put the razrs to shame. The traction is awesome and they slide real good. There 6 ply so you'll never have to worry about flats with them. They are slightly heavier but thets okay.

I don't think you will have a problem, but big air can bend an axle on it's own, so what the he!!, go for it. I've been considering Razr tires for the Lakota. You like the xcr's better huh? In what ways do they put the Razr's to shame? Do you get in any mud?

Stebob,Haven't gotten into any mud yet but pretty soon I'll be able to. We had a serious melt down and most dirt roads are melted and so are some of the trails. I think they'll do good in the mud cause the lugs are kinda far apart and the lugs are tall too.
