Wheel Spacers (rear)

[G-Man]

Just wondering what everyone, or at least all that are interested in this topic, thinks of using wheel spacers in the rear.  I added JD +2 a-arms and am considering widening the rear also.  Not sure if I really need an axle.  If I went that way, I would use a Dominator.  I found these spacers http://www.radmfg.com/wheelspacers.htm and they sound like a quality product.  What would be best to go with, 1" or 2"?  Any words of advice, please.

I'm intrested in how spacers hold up also.  I want the oppsite though.  A g-force axle for the rear and spacers up front.

I have no problems with spacers on the rear. Gforce hub extenders seem like a great option.

im running g-force rears.

i love mine, makes a huge difference, felt tipsy before.

 hellrazr, I would stay away from using spacers up front.  It changes the geometry of the front end.  You will get more bump steer and if you hit things hard enough, you will start bending tie rods with the extra stress on them.

:thumbs:I run +2 a-arms in front and 2" spacers on the rear.  I have been running the spacers for over a year with no problems on the stock axle. Knock on wood!!

For just a few more dollars you could buy a G-Force rear axle. That would give you the stock axle as a spare or to sell.

If anyone needs a set, I have a BRAND NEW in box set of G-forece spacers if anyone needs a set. Never even been mounted up.

Im running the new g-force extenders on the rear - they rock.  The previous design that was all aluminum had issues, but the new design has a steel insert where the axle slides in, and that corrected the problem.

I've had mine on for over a year now - lots of trips to the dunes, lots of whoops, jumps etc - no issues what so ever.  Very good product IMO.  Can't go wrong with them from rocky mountain.

I had the all aluminum hubs and NEVER had a problem. The guys that did'nt keep their hub but REALLY tight are the ones that saw failures. If I can race a 75HP raptor for over a year with no problems, the casual rider should'nt see any kinds of problems.

The G-Force axle isn't bad either. Only $199.

I a running the SRP Billet Spacers.  Seem to be holding up great.  The finish is top notch!! No need to remove the stock studs either.

for all of you guys that are running the g-force hubs, does anyone know how to get a hold of Gforce?

a friend of mine gave me his hubs after he bent up his stock axle, but i didnt get the cone washers that go on before the hub, and he isnt sure if he still has them, i would like to try and get the washers so that i can use the hubs.

any info would be appreciated...
