Wheel Spacers - Anybody Using Them?
#11
I have the 2.5" on the back and love'em. Along with the Razrs it turns like a dream. They work well in the sand also. Don't get any big air with wheel spacers or you just might bend an axle.

Thanks Dodgepower, I made the pegs w/ extentions myself. I used white RTV for the plastic holes for a while & then I think I took it out for the pictures. I had PEP do a custom rebuild of my rear shock to tripple valving exactly to my weight, the machines new weight & the type of riding I'm doing. It was another HUGE improvement. At high speed w/ stock rear suspension, the rear end wants to swap & bounce around back there (very dangerous) because the rear shock re-bound is very slow stock & start to stackup but after the re-build it rebounds like the pro quads, very fast & very contollable. I use the Works front stuts which are air adjustable so if I'm jumping a lot I pump it up to 55psi & if I'm just trail riding I use 30psi. Believe me, this is a VERY plush ride on pot holes, hitting boulders at speed etc compared to stock. It was another big improvement.
Duneaholic, I may be just lucky but have not bent anything yet & I jump all the time. I did go to the heavyduty front springs w/ the Works stuts pumped to 55psi to resist bottoming on the big jumps. Total for front & rear was about $500 which is REALLY cheap concidering what your getting & compared to my friends 250R's suspension costs. Hope this helps.

I reversed the rims on the front and back of a warrior and it is much more stable, but beware....last weekend i was riding and the front left tire caught a stump, ripped the handlebars out of my hands and broke my index finger pretty bad. With a wider front end its a lot harder to hang on to the bars if your front tire ever hits anything.

I mentioned earlier about the need to use a steering stabilizer when you widen the front end & I tried both the HPD 7 posistion adjustable & the Aaen 7 position adjustable & by far the Aaen was far superior. You could adjust the HPD up & it barely made any differenece whereas the Aaen, if you adjusted it up, it was almost too much cuase it slowed your steering up. The Aaen was much more effective.
