Has anyone ever used one of these?
I'm thinking might be kind of cool for wide in the open desert, and narrow on tight trails.

so is it adjustable at each end?
or do you have to re-center it each time you change the width?

sorry for the dumb questions, I have just never had the oppurtunity to have a closer look at one.

There are a ton of adjustable ones out there. My RPM is adjustable. It has 2 round "blocks" behind the hub and if you to make it narrower you take the hub off and move one of the blocks to the outside of the hub then you put the hub nut back on.

I've been running a G-Force for a couple months now and like it. Good axle for the price.

I have an LSR adjustable. It goes from +2 to +4 over stock with just swapping around the wheel hub spacers like mooseracerX is talking about. It's a pretty easy deal.

it has spacers at the end of the axle. NO you do not have to recenter it. depending on how wide you wanna go you either put the spacer in front or behind the wheel hub. Quick and easy.
