Is there anything out there to widen the stance of the truck to provide more stability and keep it from rolling? I have seen 23mm extensions but have not seen anything for the stock Savage X SS 17mm.

Thanks

You could start with some maximizer X-75 offset 1/2 and set the shocks at the lowest point to wider her out some. Check the link.

thanks for the quick replys. I'm not so sure I want to start adding a bunch of aluminum parts to my truck. I's there anything plastic? Other options?How much do the aluminum a arms kits go for?

for that price, spend the extra $60 and get the flex-tek titanuim...not extended, but indestructable :D

I'm all for indestructable! Unfortunitely I really want more stability for the truck, so its gotta widen the stance too. I really don't want to add to much extra weight if I don't have to.

Upgrade your hexes to 23mm then buy some extensions, it's gota be the cheapest option. I've recently bought some Hot Racing extensions (although I don't think that's what they're for) to fit my Pro-line hexes, they give another 3/4" either side. Trouble is then your gona need more wheels with a 23mm centre, then the tyres to go with em and so the list goes on. I guess which ever way you do it won't be cheap, that's probably why I'm so broke :$broke:
