Ever since I upgraded tires, wheels and spacers I feel like the UTV is tippy and squirrelly almost like driving with one empty tire when initiating a turn like it want to break out oversteer. I have gone from 10 to 15PSI on the tires played around with diff spacers (sadly couldn't return to old setup as I had a blown tire), but can't seem to fix it is there something I am missing here or an adjustment that I am forgetting?

Using:
Pioneer P1000-5 deluxe
Tusk Nebo 14 inch Beadlock Wheels 5+2 offset
Tusk Terrabite radial tires 28x10R-14
SuperATV spacer 1" (front)
SuperATV spacer 2" (back)

Thanks!!

I'd Play with the toe. Mines best when it's out around an 8th. Otherwise it's darty on blacktop. 30s with super atv arms no sway bar.

any suggestions on how to

Also may want to tighten up the suspension if you got fox or aftermarket
All stock, besides the changes mentioned. Looked up how to adjust the toe and move it inward, found some videos how to do this on youtube. Thanks!!

Remove the spacers and test.
Or remove the front spacer and put only the 1" in the rear.
Unless it's needed, I would also put the 1" spacers in the rear and put the 2" spacers on the shelf. Tipsy or not. I've got the 5+2's with 28's all the way around and did away with the sway bar 6 years ago. However I'm not an aggressive driver.

Terrabites hook up awesome, cross rutted and it gave me the business. If you squint, it's mint!

That said, I think I've got close to 3k all- over miles on these things. They are really hard to beat for a trail tire, or were when they were $110 a tire. I went back and looked a few minutes ago; I paid $1198 for 5 tires and 4 wheels shipped from RMATV

Is there a wheel spacer brand you like better than another, or does it matter?
