Well here is my setup i have the +6 widding kit on the front and a +7 i think on the back.Is it better to have a wider rear or front for the trails?I could take out the spacers on the back...Just wondering 
Whats better a wider frontend or backend

I personally agree with ^^^^^. However, I have noticed that some riders are starting to have the rear set equal to or slightly wider than the front. This may be for stability I don't know but I know that I prefer a wider front for the better steer qualities.
yea i have seen that 2?? i wouldnt imagine it add much more stabilty with it even witht he front..and yea i like the wider front to
Thanks for the input ,So i think if i take the spacers out the rear wheels are offset at+2 So that would mean a +4 on the rear and a +6 on the front.So is this a better setup?Now that i think of it the rear may have been a +9 total.
less rotational mass too,means more power I:I.will give an update when i do this.How hard is it to get the studs out of the wheel spacers?
ill be honest,i just came home from the mountains and a lot of the trails i ride are rough and like enduro type obstacles you know and i have a widened back axle,wheel spacers an inch on each side so 2 inches wider that the front all toghether and i found it very stable on the trails,i dont know what sort of trails ye ride over there but if there rough and hard to drive on then i find the widened rear axle the best..hope this helps.
i would have to say both. i have +2 front a-arms they help alot but i didnt get a wider axle yet. it looks pretty funny. i am gonna proll yget a g-force +4 on the rear should be nice.
While I was working on my fence I looked at my Blaster. I noticed that as it currently sits the rear is wider than the front. I am stock w/ front wheels flipped and the rears are douglas rims with 20" razrs. I do not know the offset of the rear wheels but I actually like the way my Blaster handles. It does like to push in the dunes but I think this is due more to using knobbies than the width. I have yet to install my LSR Banshee axle as I have not got my wider a-arms so I have not ridden my Blaster with a wider front-end. I have ridden Blasters with wider fronts and I guess I did not notice the difference (even though they did kick the rear around slightly better). I prefer to have my front wider so that if I go between trees or rocks I know that the rear will fit. I believe if you look at cars and trucks the front is slightly widder than the rear- atleast on the one I have noticed/looked at. Rider setup is a personal thing and if you like the way it is now- leave it. However, I would say that it is smart to try different setups if possible so that you know that you are running the best one for you. I:I

Well i ride some tight trails and some a little open.Hopefully i will give it a shot tomorrow and give an update.Thanks 
I think my front end is like, a half inch or and inch wider on the front, and I like it for the track and for the dunes, I feel for stable all around, but I also need a bigger swinger too, which helps a ton
I like the flipped fronts but i been gettin hung up on some of the trails we ride here lately. Im thinking about switching back.
im deffantly wider in the front and I feel really stable I have rode stock front end blasters and these things feel really tippy I would go wider in the front just my opinion
yea ive never rode it wider in the back but wider on the front feels real stable <and on 4x4 cars the front is wider so you dig 2 different ruts and its hearder 2 get stuck>but blasters are differently not 4x4
ya i think a wider front and a narrower rear to whip the rear around easy, but still have stability due to the front.
