I got the rears on a few weeks ago, and the fronts arrived a couple days ago so finally got them on.

i see. but it looks good. the only thing i dont like is how the front is wider then the back. i just don't like the looks. that is why i put 1" on the front of mine so they were the same widths. but man it looks mean.

Hey Rebel, is it less "tippy" with those on? Looks pretty good.

Oh I'm sure it is less tippy, but I only drove it out of the garage to take those pics so far.

I gotta get out there again to take another measurement, but I don't think the front is wider than the rear since it wasn't prior to the spacers.
But thanks!

Looks good Mark!
I like the wide stance look.I see you have a winch saver.I just got one a few weeks ago.

I notice thats seems to be a common thing with the SP popos' is it the srtut front end that causes this??anyone know why??

Thanks guys.
Yeah it's almost time to get another one...the hook is starting to tear the rubber up from winching it in too far. Oh well, that's what it's for, rather than the fairlead getting beat up.

Mark, i dont think the tape lied when you and i took measerments.?? i really thought it was going to be in the 55" to 56" area, but the tape measured right at 52 ish didnt it?
I agree tho, the appearance is very cool and very tuff.. How tight is it on the trailer now ya think?

ya it has alot to do with the strut because you have to put the front tires out farther so they don't rub the tie rod end.

Yeah it was around 53.5", and I thought that's what it was in the rear too when I measured them the one time.
The trailer is fine...I had the rear spacers on during the camping trip/ice bog.
