2 inch wheel spacer question

i know this subject has probably come up before but i cant find the answer but does the 2 inch wheel spacers make a big difference in the handling of a 50 inch rzr ?and do i need them front and rear or maybe use an 1 1/2 on the front.

It will make the RZR a lot more stable. I had them on my RZR before I put on a long travel kit and it handle fine. Also, I would space out the front the same as the rear. If the rear is wider it will push the front through turns.

well i just raised my rzr as high as possible with the factory shocks and arms as i could and i took both sway bars loose and i realize it will probably be more likely to tip over in certain situations it really made me think about using the spacers.i just cant see spending that much money for a long arm kit right now even though i would if i had the money to burn.i do know that with the spacers you will put more stress on the bearings and the balljoints and such but i think normal wear will get them anyway.

You are right so you might as well have the stability. I would get the spacers. Hell I might have one set I can sell you. All you would need is the other set and you are good to go.

i ran 1.5 spacers on my 09 le on all 4 wheels. it handled great.
