I'm thinking of getting 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers for the rear of my Raptor with the stock axle. I do trail riding and 4wd roads. has anyone had any problems with using spacers on the rear axle? I don't want to buy a new axle if I don't have to just for trail riding.

Thanks,
Lorrin Lee

I had the 2.5 inch rear wheel spacers. They worked great, but catching big air isn't recommended. It's like when you span a board across an opening, the wider the span the weaker the board becomes.

Which spacers did you have? the dura blue ones? I just ordered some billet aluminums. Didi you wind up bending your axle?

Yes I did, but I was about eight feet high when I was jumping.
