After I put my HMF slip on it gave my quad some bawlz and when i turn and give it gas it feels tip see!!!!! I think i might get some spacers to help that but not sure what size to get i know they have 1.5 and 2.5 so it would make it 3in wider or 5in wider what do you guys suggest I get?

I would do G-Force extended hubs before I did spacers. If your budget only alows spacers,  G-Force stuff is HIGH quality aluminum.

For around $220 (includes the cost of axle wrench) you can own a GForce axle (adjustable to +2 and +4).

So just getting these would make it wider, if that works i might just get these. But would i need new wheel bearings?

No. You will not need new bearings.

The extended hubs are really nice.

another thing, if your not into big mx jumps, you could get a lowering kit, mine lowers and widens the front by 3 inches, and the back is adjustable to lower up to 4 inches. only around 100 bucks too  :thumbs:

That will not work for me since I love hitting jumps with mine but if I just raced mine all the time i would do that, but those hubs are almost the same price as spacers but the hubs are aluminum wich is awesome and i hear some people say spacers brake!!!!

Spacers break, as can extended hubs. Both are not full-proof.

Those are the size of the jumps I hit I go to a race track and there are some big table tops there 20ft.. Should i just get the hubs for the back and save some money or should i just get front and back?

Yeah I have the money for the g force axle in the bank but I would need to get something for my front to make it wider to?

They do make a small spacer for the front. I own a GForce set and they do make it about 2'' wider.

You dont need an axle wrench for it.
And if u want to look around i have these ITP front rims that were only $20 each and widens the front out 2 inches.
