As usual thanks for the tire info on tires...now what is the read on spacers
on the front?It seems to me that they would put added strain on the front
wheel bearings.?

> 10 years ago, everyone thought spacers were going to be a problem with the
bearings. You will even find some dire predictions in the literature, of
how bearings were not going to hold up'
but
this has not been shown to be a problem ( that I have seen documented)/

the only down side I have seen documented is the change of geometry on the
front end that shows some loss of traction.' Here are some of the
thoughts from others on this subject.

It is interesting, that the new "one ton V-II, does not seem to
demonstrate this problem.

as always, read the literature, and make your own decision.
