Who sells wheel spacers, so I can eliminate the tie rod to wheel rub. I don't need one to thick.
Thanks

To avoid the tie-rod end on the right side from rubbing, just add a couple washers the the wheel studs.

They changed the front hubstut casting now you need to add washers to both sides. Also do your self a favour, pull off the rubber tie rod boots and save them, If you rip one it will just collect dirt and wear out your tierod end.Found out the hard way on that one.

To answer your question. highlifter sells spacers
and I saw on there web site a few days ago, they are coming out with something new. looks like a 1 inch and also a 1 and 1/2 inch aluminum plate to space out the wheels for the purpose of making your atv less tippie and so your not riding in the
same tracks as the guy in front of you. I have 2 washers on both sides of my front tires now.

Thanks Guys. The washers work great. Plus they aren't expensive. I will checkout "Highlifter" site.
