for the rear axle I would say they are fine. For the front end they are sketchy.


u may already know, but a g-force axle from rocky mountain atv is a cheep alternative. only 200$.

I run them in the read and don't have any problems with them.....but i don't like the ones for the front...just don't seem too safe...

as long as you dont do any major jumping or thrashing the spacers are fine.

i have the 2.5" wheel spacers and they are definately doing the job for now. just don't do an major jumping. the company i bought them from garenteed they would not crack or put any extra pressure to stock components. they also said they were ama tested.

i wouldn't go with anything major....the wider you make it the more s tress you put on the stock stuff. i don't care what kinda warrenty they offer...

iw ould rather try to find a cheap axle or something used. but i don't know what your parts availabilty is over there.

Id rather run stock width then run wheel spacers or flipped rims. Especially in the front, they will make your quad handle much worse. They will also give more "feedback" through the bars.

Well i have decked out 250ex about to its max and i dident get the tire spacers becuz (in myopinion) i think goin with a-arms would might be better. Just because ived never had tire spacers so i dont really no how good it would be. But if u go with the a-arms , yea its goin to be more mony but it might be more reliable

i can tell you this, when you ride in rought terrain the wheels want to hook so you have to muscle through it...
