I'm running the G Force. They work for me with no problems. They are billet aluminum and a bargain.

I saw those the other day and was thinking that they'd be alot better then spacers. But it looks like they only sell them for the rear. That would be nice if they made them for the front too.

These are extended hubs. I didnt know there was such a thing. I might have to get a pair whenever they have em in stock again..

I'm one of those anti wheel spacer snobs.

Imagine the effect if you had 2 foot thick wheel spacers.

Well 2" thick wheel spacers are just less of the same negative effect.

normally i agree about the spacers being kinda unsafe, but the extended hubs look alot safer. Or at least the one piece spacers look safer then the 4 extended bolt looking ones. Does anyone think the extended hub kind are safer then normal ones?

That is true.

I'm modding 450R shocks and going with +1 a-arms, and I'm in for $1,200.

And you can spend ALOT more than that.

I'm also one of those people that hates wheel spacers but I dont think that they are all that bad in the rear. I personally don't even understand why they make them for the front though. When you put spacers up front you are taking away from the performance of your quad.

I use spacers on the rear of my quad. I bought them at magic racing and they are solid billet. I understand the thought that spacers are not as good as a new axle, but the cost of a good axle is crazy. For around a hundred bucks, spacers work fine for me. Also sometimes, such as dune riding spacers are even ok on the front, you need to be wider to dune. So better to have spacers than nothing at all.
