Wheel spacers are a bad idea especially for jumping. They will wear out your bearings/bushings. If you want better handling for a good price you could save up for some used works shocks.

Spacers will put extra wear on your bearings/tie-rods, but unless your doing aggressive jumping you will be ok. With a 250ex your only going to be getting but so much extreme air anyway..... They will definately help the stability of the quad, but you may notice additional bump steer.

the 3 inch spacers i got for mine did help and the bump steer isnt bad at all. i dont jump that much at all and i ride mostly trails. i got them from from a company called crj performacne on ebay i think. heres the site, they work very well.

wheel spacers are no tthat bad..they are perfect if you are on a tight budget. me and a friend of mine used spacers for almost a full race season until we got axles and they held up perfect

very bad idea for jumping, spend some money on a-arms and shocks.
