Title: Quick question about axle
Post by: vreds on July 21, 2008, 05:22:03 AM
Well, here it is, when you buy an aftermarket axle, there is a +x to +x adjustment, for that part I understand. Now what I want to know is if it's +4, is it +4 to each side or 2+2 each side which  (obviously :D) make 4 ? I just want to confirm that before I do something. Thanks

vreds.

With a +4 I would assume it's going to be +2 & +2

I can't imagine a quad extended 8" in the rear :lol:

That's what I thought, and that's why I asked to confirm. Some trail become thigh at some place and I didn't want an axle that add 8" OVL  :lol: but if we compare with the logic of the a-arms, that would add 4" each side...

I know it sound odd but i'll do a-arms later, I almost flipped again this weekend and now i'm pissed off  :mad: Just gotta be careful in tight area because the front will pass, but rear won't which will lead me to this : :owned: Anyway i already find the front end large enough. The rear end seem too narrow to me...

KB got me a good deal i think for a rpm  :thumbs:

Yeah, that's a great deal on that axle!

It's to bad you didn't get one about 6 months ago! I basically STOLE it from him!

What width are the spacers?
Just curious about the spacing options...

Umm, on the g-force i have on the 350, there was one like an 1 1/2 inch thick and another one like 1/2 inch thick. On both sides of course. So whatever u could make out of that.

I didn't even consider spacer since i'm concern about the added stress on the axle and i'm SOOOO lucky these day  :mad: so I won't take chance.

And they're costy IMO.. 150$ (including shipping) to increase the chance off f***** up your stock axle don't seduce me, but that's just me.  :)

I bought a set of G-Force extended hubs that are 3.5" wider overall.  I rode my track & did some woods riding. No air to speak of & they worked good.
