I just got the durablue 2+2 axle for my raptor, i was wondering will i be happy with the new axle as it is? 4 inches wider than stock is quite a bit of a jump, but i am wondering if i should even waste my money on wheel spacers? will my quad be stable enough withought the spacers and just the +4? im putting the new axle on soon but i cant ride till spring, so yeah, wheel spacers? i do ride the dunes, jump, etc. so i dont want these to break out from under me. thanks for all the info.

 

A four-inch increase in track width will make a dramatic difference in the handling of you quad. You won't need to go any wider than that. Since you made the rear wider, you may want to look into extended a-arms now to help balance out the bike. I wouldn't suggest wheel spacers anywhere over one-inch, but that's because I don't like wheel spacers at all. They put too much stress on the wheel studs, and I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

 

Noy many people like wheel spacer because of all the bad stories. I have them all the way around and have not had any problems yet??? I realize they are hard on studs so I dont jump near as hard as I use to. 1.5 on the front to balance it out in my opinion would be fine and inexspensive. As soon as my 2.5's on the back start breaking I'm gonna splurge and get a 2+2 also....good luck
