    honestly, they are on, they get the tires out there, and i've buzzed around the neighborhood with them. i have yet to hit a trail with them on though. so, i have not had any problems with them, but not much test on them.

    good luck with them on your end though.

    by the way, i found mine on ebay stores. some company out of corona, ca i think. but it was about $100-110 for the new set of 4. they are not the name brand spidertrax or some other expensive name brand, but they seemed to be good ones, had hardware, and came the next day.

    I installed mine finally. 1.25" from Spidertrax. Just enough to get the tires away from the suspension, they made a huge improvement in driveability. They help a bit to keep the tires from grabbing ruts in the road quite so bad as well.

    I would definitely go with the 1.5's. I run 33 x 12.50's and it gives me just enough clearance.

    Sounds like if this guy had good luck, then you should be fine!

    Better baby that model 30 for a while though!

    i officially ran them, with the bigger tires. they were great. no problems at all. i liked the wider track, but i could only compare going from the 10.5" wide 31's to the 14" wide 33's with 2" spacers on each side, plus these are different rims which are 10" with offset, i believe my last ones were 7". i definitely had far more stability on paths that i had previously run.

    lock-tite on the nuts holding the spacers, plus proper torque. i have no future worries
