You CAN'T jump with the lowering kit... You CAN jump with wheel spacers but it puts more stress on everything so if you have the stock axle, plan on bending or breaking it.

Well that's great to hear.... But the way I jump I would definatly have it bent or broke.... I had my DS650 axle so bent that the machinist that straightend it on a press almost broke the machine trying to get it straight, but that's what you get from an 80ft flatlander jump landing on one rear wheel.... I'm very surprised I didn't scuff my sac on that one..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Well I never really had a problem with the axle bending with offset wheels, which is sorta like wheel spacers? But I have a rappy axle on my shee and did a 25 foot air to flat sand and the axle faired fine. But the rims bent [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. Damn them sheer drops on dunes!
