I ran them on the front for awhile too but once I went +3 up front didn't need em anymore!! And it steers MUCH better now!! We run fronts & rears on our blaster & it works good!! We do flattrack thugh so there's NO jumping involved & when we do jump they will be taken OFF!!!

I heard that if you go with the wheel spacers in the rear with the stock axle that it will bend a lot easier....good enough reason for me not to get one. I was also told that going with them in the front makes it harder to stear....but from the sound of it, I think I am hearing wrong:blah:

I run them up front. I have bombed them on jumps and no probems so far.

Yes, if you put them up front, it will make you quad harder to steer. Also, that annoying jerk/twist when your front tires hit a rock and the bars want to jerk out of your hands, it will be much worse.

They say on the package, don't jump with them.

However (and this is just my personal opinion) go ahead and get them. They're cheap, and as long as you don't jump too high on them, they won't ruin anything. You'll love the added stability they give you, and the wider wheelbase makes your quad look pretty cool, too. Just keep the jumping and steering in the back of your mind.
