P1000 Added wheel spacers now drives like crap.

[Tldrigg]

I just added the the RB3 wide track spacer bundle, 1" front 1.5" back. Before I took it out I noticed the tow was out in the front after the install. I did some minor adjustments and took it out. I was all over the trails and felt like I had no control to the point it felt dangerous.

I guess my question is, has anybody experienced this after adding spacers and what remedy did you do to correct it?
My wheel setup is 14x7 4.0 + 3.0 offset.

Major props to RB3 Their spacers are amazing quality and light. If you are thinking of getting spacers get the RB3.

Thanks

Id check your alignment...with 4+3 wheels id ditch the front spacer and put a 2in on the rear.

I will give it a shot.

You have your wheels too far out and it has messed up the front end geometry causing a lot of feedback. I did 5+2 wheels all around and only 1in spacer on rear. That gives you a straight wheel track front to rear and no impact on steering feedback.

By going to 3in offset your wheel is an inch further out plus the 1in spacer = 2in further out. Thats a big difference in geometry.

Here's a good video. Start about 5 min in.

Like @Cuoutdoors said, a 4+3 offset plus wheel spacers on the front is a lot of offset. I remember seeing that Honda toed the front end out specifically for stability. I have 5+2 wheels and an @RB3offroad 1 inch spacer on the rear to even up the track width.

Definitely messed it up. I also have 5+2 and 1" spacers in the back.

Thanks Everyone. I will remove the front and let you know this weekend how it went.

Update:
I pulled the front 1" spacers off and decided to keep the 1.5" spacers in back. I am really happy with the handling of this setup.
14x7 4.0 + 3.0 offset with 1.5" spacers in rear. Great handling!
Thanks for all the help with this guys.
