They measured 309mm shoulder to shoulder on a 9.5Axis hiro.I made up spacers similar to yours for the Control Blades (if I seen this thread sooner I would have given them to you! I binned them a couple of weeks ago)I had to roll the shiiit out of the guards and trim the body work where the bumper meets the bumper inside the guard.tractions was not and issue! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had issues with the tyres touching the inner guard on the inside when the suspension copped a rapid compression, couldn't do much to sort that bar raising the rear to 70's hotrod spec.

I ordered a set today, cost me $195 for the kit plus $20 for the airbag to Perth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
