Hey, I've got some Spidertrax 1.5 wheel spacers that I'm not using till winter if you want to try them out. You know where I'm at.

I think I may just take you up on that Ron, but holy hell would these tires stick out far.. I took some pics all flexed out but forget them at home I will try and get them uploaded thisafternoon.

How much turning radius do you loose if I was to put 3/8 washers in behind the steering stops?

John, if you use the spacers, it might resolve one issue, but create another issue.....looks like you will rub your fenders when flexed out....which would force you to do the fender chop or new fenders

nice rti ramp......lol

Yeah that RTI ramp is big dollar equipment lol

Thats what I was thinking about the spacers, right now everything tuck and flexes fine if I add the 1.5 spacers I think it may rub all overtheplace... I will prob go see Ron and at least try it out... hopefully he has a better ramp than I do lol

I test mine crossing a ditch in the pasture but if you want something more technical it can probably be done.

I'm off till Wednesday, but have some commitments with my youngest boys Grad tonight and tomorrow around 6PM. The morning would probably be OK if we don't get to carried away after the Offspring concert tonight
I saw your Kiskatinaw bridge and cabin shots, do you take that trail to the Parkland Road and go down to the swim holes? I've met a bunch of FSJ people down there over the years.
