Just bought a B6100 Wheel spacers good or bad?

[duramaxhd10]

I just picked it up, I do have a slight hill I will be using it on, and I have already had it tip a little bit...I have been doing some reading that wheel spacers can help out greatly....

Will I damage anything running REAR spacers?

Also, where can I buy some to fit my 1984 b6100? Thanks

Post a close-up pic of each of your rear axles. You really shouldn't need spacers -- your axles have four holes through they about 1" apart, allowing you to move the wheels in or out to suit various conditions.

Mine (B6100D w/FEL) was pretty scary when I first began using it, but after learning about adjusting the wheels, I've been able to navigate my hilly and soft backyard. (Mine is steep enough to require the seat belt to keep my butt in place, but careful navigation has totally eliminated all "pucker moments".)

Move the wheels out, reverse the hubs, and reverse the rims- should be able to get them way out there.

I did check the holes on the axle and they are already all the way out, the valve stems are on the inside already so I imagine someone already turned them around, I'll try to post up some pics tonight to get a better pics tonight

So the rims were already flipped, but I did realize the wheels were not all the way out on the axle, so I did pull them out and it made it ALOT wider.

There are weights on the wheel already, man they were HEAVY!!

Heres pics

Wow, yours are farther out than mine! <jealous rage>

Well, that ought to be pretty tip-resistant!

Have you tires loaded if not already. Adds stability And sure helps with a load in the bucket.
