wheel spacers?

i was thinking about getting them for my rappy because it is so unstable. they are cheaper and much easier to install but are they any good? sandsport.com seems to have a decent set up. or should i just go with the wider axle?

Wheel spacers are cheaper, but I think an axle would be better in the long run. You might want to get a link to lower your quad a little. Also if you don't jump a lot you can take all of the preload off of your shocks and it will lower your quad. That will make it handle better.

No problem your welcome. Also I think you have compression and rebound adjustments on your rear shock but not the fronts. On the lower screw turn it all the way in and then back it off one click. On the top screw turn it all the way out ans the go in 1 click. This will make you suspension plusher. If you jump a lot it will hit bottom. If you just trail ride like I do or race XC or fast trail riding you will like it.
