What are your guys' opinions on wheel spacers such as the ones by G-Force. Are they a good alternative to aftermarket a-arms/axle? Are they still strong and can you use them with stock suspension?

I have heard that if you are going to ride hard (jumps, etc.) then they don't work good.

Yea but jumping like how big. I'm not exactly doing 80 foot doubles and i dont usually get more than 5 feet of air.

Then you should be fine. I got mine on the front of my 300. I've had air up to about 6 or 7, no problems either. Lot more stable too. Everyone says the bumpsteer is like unbearable, but if it is worse than it was, i can't tell.

They seem ok, and look really good! If you get durablue, get the ez fit ones, i got the others, they were a royal pain in the butt to get the new studs on. I got mine to be temporary, until i get the money for my Burguard +2+1's i want. :devil:

Or if you wanted to you could get offset rims instead. Those would probably hold up better.
