Wheel Spacers

Any pros and cons to aluminum vs urethane wheel spacers for the front? I figure alum is a no brainer for rigidity but Dura Blue makes some urethane spacers and they have been making stuff for a good while. Any ideas?

If you plan on jumping your quad with wheel spacers it will be very hard on your ball joints.

I have aluminum bolt on spacers like these and never had a problem. Any research you do on adding wheel spacers to quads or cars/trucks will almost always point to these as the safest style.

Yeah I think I'll go with the aluminum. Maybe just 1" each side. I don't get big air so I'm not real worried about ball joints going bad, but I like the idea of extra stability on the front. Thanks all.
