Front Wheel Spacers

I picked up a Blaster as a camp quad (because it kinda looks like my Banshee) and the suspension is pretty harsh for sand use...the only place I take it to is Glamis.

It uses up MAYBE an inch of travel and beats the hell out of you so I was thinking that if I added a 1 1/2" wheel spacer to each of the front wheels, it would increase leverage to the shocks and make them feel softer.

I'm going to pick up a swingarm off (fe)eBay and add a 2" or 3" section to it to balance out the spring rate too.

 

I was thinking that since it is only used in the sand...the extension from the centerline of the ball joints would be a minimal issue. What will it do to the steering?

 

Or I could cut and weld a 2" or 3" spacer into a set of A arms.

When they say arms are +2, is that per side or overall?

A Banshee axle will widen the rear to match the front.

 

Anyone have experience with this? WWYD?

 

Thanks, Jay.

I'm not to big on spacers up front, I'd recommend going with the deeper offset wheels...a little more solid IMO

 

there are 2 things I really cant stand, wheel spacers and rear axle bumpers! well 3,... eyeball headlight covers. but wheel spacers are GAY!!! My front end is 52" wide and I have no spacers. :shrug:
