    New rear axle. standard width or +4"?

    Ok, I'm going to buy a new rear axle for my 350x. Should I buy a stock width, or a plus 4" width one? And who should I go with on a tapered bearing carrier?

    I have a +4 Durablue on my 350x and with 22x12.5x9 Spidertracs it measures 53" to the outside of the tires. Real stable but you have to work to turn it. I want to swap the spacers so it is a +2.

    Lots O Trikes!!!!!

    So the Dura Blue +4 is only +4 with the spacers on the inside? And with the spacers on the outside its only a +2? If that is correct I think I will buy the "+4" axle and put the spacers on the outside for only a +2. I ride mostly trails and sand. But sometimes I get out on the track we have here at the local State OHV area.
