Aaaaaaa nope - gonna disagree with you on this one. Am running 2" spacers with WE beadlocks that have something like 4.5" of backspacing - that puts me at about 2" or 2.5" backspacing (which is what, about an 1" past normal?). I ran Stazwork double beadlocks at 2" BS with 38.5" TSL/SX's siped and air downed all the time with no real issues. Went to the WE's when I wanted to go 39" after reading all the junk on Pirate about improving steering while aired down.

I think the Poly's must max out at 37"s - which to me isn't all that impressive compared to stock - but then again, I am really not a big wheeler - only getting out for about two runs to Tellico and 3 or 4 runs with NF Cruiserheads annually. Really rely on folks like ya'all who live out West and live/breath wheeling all the time!

Just strange as I know of several folks running centered mini axles that are taking a bigger beating that I'm dishing out - especially considering my nursing it a bit more lately.

Not jealous - as my friends put it, life isn't so bad down here .
