I am looking at giving the big girl a little bit of extra width to help with the handling when we're out on the trail, but I don't want to splash out too much more cash on her if I don't have to. Is it best to go with a wider axle at the rear and leave the front stock? What are my alternatives, and which should I stay clear of? I ride trail only and the only air I am likely to get is the stuff on my 'ead.

What type of spacers are they. I've seen the black poly type, the stud extenders (something pornographic about that name), and the billet ones. The guys on the Raptor forum say to stay clear of the stud ones.

I got a set of extended hubs for the rear of my banshee from JMC, they work great and fitted good also

| I use the billet spacers for the front and i put a wider offset wheel on the rear which brought the rear to the same width as the front. |
