its been a real disappointment

 

The wheel spacers in front arn't too bad as long as the tire wheel combo you use is lighter in weight than what you have on there now..If you have a good skid plate then the stock tire size is fine but if you go bigger, you may want to drop your front sprocket down one tooth or raise the rear up 2 teeth.

 

Go with the lonestar axle. Its typically the same price or even a little cheaper and is stronger than the durablue eliminator axle.

For a rear axle install you shouldnt need anything special but it is best to replace your bearings and regrease everything. The bearings are cheap and unless your machine is brand new it doesnt hurt.

On the tires I would go with 20" unless you need the clearance for nasty trails or mud. A 9" wheel should be fine for this application too. Watch your offset. You can make the rear a few inches wider with different offset wheels. If you are not going to widen the front then you should keep the rear as small as possible or your handling will be adversely affected.

Wheel spacers are fine for casual riding, but for rough terrain or jumping you can have problems. You can get by with them but your bearings will have quite a strain on them and your disc rotors will be exposed to rocks, roots, and more sand.
