Ok, I’m running front spacers on my coach and I see some don’t like doing that. Is there concern of additional wear on the front components? I
have had a better tracking going down the highway.

Thanks,
TG

Tom,
The main concern is at the Knuckle.
If you use our rebuilt knuckle or Dave Linzi set up the spacer works well.
The 2" spacers have been around and I have over 150,000 miles and have not
worn out the front end components .
To say you do not stress some components a little more is not so, but the
benefits are worth it.
People that complain they have less traction, it is because the front end
is worn and you'll get more toe in which automatically slides and it will
induce the slippage. A well kept front end with a correct rebuilt knuckle
will not have that type of problem.
It does not take an engineer to figure it out.

Thanks Jim, this helps. I have had the front end serviced and all parts needed replacement done. I’ll have it checked over again this season.

Thanks,
