spacers are only good for the rear. if you plan on jumping I wouldn't use them
if you have them on the front it puts to much stress on the ball joints and shocks
and they change the way the suspension works and makes it harder to turn with.
I dont care for them. I had them on my quad for awhile but thats my opinion
some people will tell you how great they are and you'll have no problems with them.
do a lot of research before you decide

I have 4" wheel spacers on the rear of my Z, and I have the front tires turned around. I only run it this way when Im racing on a flattrack, I dont trust it for any jumps/bumps.
It makes a huge difference for stability.

i wouldnt get them if your going to be jumping all the time...i got a durablue axle on the back of my quad and spacers up front and i have only jumped my quad alittle...so far its holding up fine...i was thinking about gettin spacers years back but always heard bad things like everyone is saying..then i talked to as much people i could with them and most said they put stress on everything but really only fit you jump...i dont jump much so i figure they will be fine...id go for a axle in the back and spacers up front if you cant afford a-arms...cuz there $$$...just 2inches wider on each side youll see a huge difference...

Don't get spacers if your goin to get the axle it will be wide enough with the axle and i wouldn't even get them on the front cause of all the stress it put on your shock from the extra leverage. spacers will also make you bottom out easier on the front

yeah i probally wont do it then because i do a lot of jumping. Plus the grorce is just a axle with additional wheel spacers so id have to add them to widen it and i havent heard much about the g force axle and wether it can withstand that type of abuse
