Wheel Spacers

[tndad]

I would like to get more wheelbase on my 96 Kodiak 400. It has stock wheels and tires and has a high center of gravity.
Have looked up wheel spacers and they can range from 75-125 dollars. Looking for maximum of 2inch per "rear" wheels. Anybody got any good sources?
Really don't want to go to the big $s and get new wheel and wider tires.

I am not a fan of wheel spacers. It burns up bearings and loads the axles up.

same here i put some on mine and now it is just settign out there becuase i can't find the dang parts for it anymore and they can't cross match the bearings to find out if they can find some that will work on my atv so now i'm looking for a new atv becuase mine is too old to find any parts for it

So how can I lower the center of gravity? Lower the suspension?
What is the difference between spacers and "wide" tires and "deep" rims? The rims and tires (increasing wheelbase) are kindof acting the same as spacers loadwise are they not?

Oh by the way, can anyone recommend an atv tire dealer in nashville area for wide tires?

They make lowering kits for your wheeler, search e-bay and google. HTere are a number of ways. Wider tires and deep dish wheels also wear axle bearings and wheel bearings but not as bad as spacers.
