Default Tippy Wolverine

I have always ridden sport quads (presently Z400) but recently bought an 05 Wolverine. I like it in almost everyway, especially after installing the Warn 424. However I find the center of gravity high and the quad wants to tip on off camber situations. I was thinking of installing wheel spacers???? Anyone done that? The wheels and tires are such odd ball sizes that there are practically no choices if you want to stay stock in wheel size and with a 23" tire. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I find myself sticking my leg out too frequently which I know is asking for trouble. Thanks.

If your not going fast in rough terain or jumping it, I would say the wheel spacers would be fine. It will help a little. If you could give up some ground clearance lowering it a little might be a good idea too.

I have aftermarket aluminum wheels/tires that increase my track (width) by 2-3 inches front and rear, another option although expensive. I never felt my Wolverine was tippy with the stockers tho. Just gotta transfer your weight to counter-act the quad leaning over. No stability issues here, and I ride it like I stole it...
