Re: What size wheel spacers?

tehre is a mod that you can do that adds an ifs hub to the SA and makes it wider, its covered on pirate, and im sure here too, but i dont have links to it at the moment

I have been researching this for the past two weeks and have not got one clean cut straight answer, somtimes i wonder if people really know what they are talking about.  :shake:
Im sure this has been covered...I did a search and didnt get much.....

Anyway, ive got a 89 rear axle under my 85runner, I measure a 2" difference in width.  My question is am I shooting for exactly the same width in front...1" spacers, ....or do I want to be slightly wider in front?  1.25s or 1.5s?   

Im more concerned about on road and high speed off road handling, right now its spooky goin fast in the dirt :yikes:.   So im trying to gauge handling at different widths and also minimizing the extra load on the bearings.   Anyone feel theres a "sweet spot"?

Hope that makes sense...... :greengrin:   

i just ordered my 1.5" wheel spacers from marlin they should be here tue of next week.  I plan on doing a few high speed drifts as well, just you hold on :thumbs:
