i run durablue all the way around and im no candyass :D they are fine with stock axle and stuff works good

it kind of depends on what kind of riding you do. they do put more stress on you quad and also help create more bumpsteer on it which isn't good. if you have the money it would just be better in the long run to buy a new axle and a arms.

what is bumpsteer and im planing on racing a lil nothing real big for now i just have a lil track that my friends race at and not going to be jumping 150 ft or Nething just 50 60 at most

still at that footage it could have bad effects on your quad. bumpsteer is when you are riding and hit a bump and it makes your steering kinda twist cause its harder to control because of were pressure is applied. its kinda hard to explain. but like i said i would try and get an axle and a-arms if you could.

Wheel spacers aren't nearly as strong as an aftermarket axle. Most manufacterers will tell you not to jump too big on wheel spacers. That's not to say that you can't jump at all, but if you plan on going big, get an aftermarket axle instead, or a-arms in the front. The wheel spacers just aren't conducive to big air.

I race four wheeler we go over 100 200 250 feet jumps. I bought wheel spacer but I broke them over a 50. I needed spacers so i made some I go over the 250 with my 500ex. I never brake them. So Isay make your own.

Dude, there is NO WAY you jump 250 feet man... That is a retarded comment to make. In Huevos 6 at the end Dunk and Natalie are jumping 110-130 feet and that is one of the biggest jumps ever on a quad. Nobody has jumped near or over 200 feet as far as I know, not even Matt Coulter, who holds the world record. I wanna see a picture. I am sorry but you claiming you jump 250 feet is TOTAL B.S. and you should be ashamed for making such a comment. Even funnier is that you said you did it with wheel spacers..... Yeah right, my *** you did!!!!! What a way to join the site....By having your first post be a BIG FAT LIE!!!!

i have spacers on my 400 and i jump it 50 to 60 ft about 6ft off ground and land flat with no problems, i weigh 160lbs, never broke one.

and as far as the dude jumping 250ft where at ? i will pay 100$ to watch !! not saying you cant, just saying i want to watch.

an axle and spacers are the way to go inthe long run. i did the spacers to see the difference 3inches would make.
