Details

A wider footprint improves stability and handling across uneven terrain, while the added suspension travel lets the wheels better follow the ground, delivering a smoother ride and improved control when the trail gets rough. Precision crafted components and a true bolt-on design keep installation straightforward while delivering factory-quality fitment.
