Get the 1.5's, more stable on side hills.  I will have a set of my 1.5 spacers that will be for sale in a couple weeks since i will be going ifs rear.

I second what Hyena says...the wider you go the less tippy you are. plus wide stance makes for a nice look

My rear end is 3" wider then my front and I don't like it. Around last October it was supposed to be a temporary setup, but now I won't change it until July.

I have a wide rear and and 1.5" wheel spacers at all corners. I will eventually convert my front outters to IFS which will give my front end about another 2.75" wider and then they will about match and I'll be set-
