Default 2" Spacers need for sure!

Put the flares on today and the rears definitely need to come out Wasn't that noticeable before this... Anyone have a recommendation for a brand or are they all about the same? I know with a car they have to be hub centric. How about a cart? I don't want it to bounce.

I just order the cheapest set I could get off ebay. I did look for USA made ones but honestly they were cheaper than the china retailers or the USA retailers That I am pretty sure selling china goods.

It's strange the front on my 96 txt was narrower after the lift. Of course I guess it could of been the replacement axle was narrorer? I didn't measure it before so I have no refference. I put 1.5" spacers on the front to get it to equal the back.

All the spacers are basically the same except some have more metal taken offf...have just noticed this on the china ones. But they all bolt onto hub and wheel bolts to them.

Yeah the TXT I did was about the same but the spindles push the fronts out pretty good. The RXV needs as much as it can get to make it more stable at high speed anyway. Might actually get a 1" for the front and 2.5-3" for the rear to make it even wider.

That's not even CLOSE to being true!

There are...
~Stud extensions, the most prone to breaking.
~CAST aluminum spacers, (poured into a mold) and are SECOND most prone to breaking,
and...

~Billet Aluminum spacers, cut from a solid piece of Aluminum!

Every set I saw looked like cut billet. The set I have is CNC machined billet Alluminum. Pressed in studs. $39 shipped to my house. Made in GA. If I bought the more common 2" size they are $34. If anyone would like to question this I will post a pic of them and my invoice for proof. I thought posting about ebay was allowed here. I know it was frowned upon if I posted say cartx.com or some company that is not a site sponsor. But I thought ebay links...which I didn't even put one were ok.

I looked at site sponsors and I beleive they were close to 3x the price. I too like to support them when I want but 3x the price for the same thing is a little much. That said if you have seen my posts I refer many people to scottyb and praise his service when ever I can.

Well I measured and 2" is going to make them stick out WAY to far... I'm either going to do a set of 1" in the rear which will make them pretty much even, or do the 1" up front and 2" in the rear to make the whole thing wider.

And NO not all spacers are the same. I ordered a set off eBay for my '15 Mustang and they were supposed to be "hub centric" Well they were but they weren't very "centric" if you ask me! The car bounced like you wouldn't believe!!! I could stick my head out the window and watch the wheels move up and down...

Yes I would agree quality and craftsman ship can vary. There also is a huge difference between high speed car vehicles and golf cart. Now if it's that bad you can see the wallop you will deffinitily feel it at 20mph.
