Default Jumping with dura-blue spacers?

Well after posting about wheeel spacers a few weeks ago i decided to go with the dura-blue ez fit rear wheel spacers (2.5inches either side) but i do small jumps nown again. So know i'm a bit scared doing jumps. I want to know whats the limit on jumping, i dont want to go out an break the damn things. Replys Appreciated

Hey Y2J & Ride, keep me posted. I dont want to do an axle and front arms because I like to ride trails. Went to Gorman this wekend and some of the trails are very narrow.

I dont own spacers, but Ive read on here that its not the smartest thing to do. I can imagine that small jumps feet that are smooth couldnt do much harm, but larger MX style could cause some damage....

Wheel spacers are a fine upgrade as long as your not a big air jumper. If you jump a few feet in the air or so then you will have no problems. I've landed from 3-4 feet in the air on one rear tire only no fronts just the one rear and everything was fine.

Small jumping won't pose any problems for these spacers. The problem will actualy show up in your stock axle first...I think those spacers are more than strong enough to take a hit which would bend the stock axle(with the added leverage of the spacers)...the spacers seem to provide a prefect mmatch for mellow dune riders who want to hit the trails as well
