Hello all,
Want to narrow up my rear idlers, i currently have 4, but only want to run the inner 2.
Get it to lean like my viper
Do i need parts for this or can i just lose the 2 outside idlers?
Im thinking axle length is wrong if i do that?
Add spacers, or order a kit?
Havent been able to put eyes on the sled, but wanted to be ready when i do.

If you keep the current axle, you will have to create spacers that take up the thickness of the wheel bearings you are taking out. So to get it right measure the thickness of the bearing in the outside wheels and add that thickness to the current spacer length and make new spacers for each side.
What about just using the bearings?

it works now withe wheels and bearings so it will work if you take the bearing out of the wheels and just put the bearings back in. Might look to everyone like you broke the wheels and they are gone but if you are ok with that it will work.

Or you can use a washer stack.

I was thinking aluminum spacers.
Figured there was no need to order a axle kit.
