Will 1" on each wheel at all four corners really hurt the suspension? I heard they make stress points and damage suspension/chassis components. My quad is 48 in the rear with a +4 axle, so there is really no way to make it wider, and after I put a front end on my quad, it will be around 48 also. So I was wondering if it will be that bad to run 1" spacers. I would be racing MX.
