44" or 46" widening kit

[Bearit]

Hi there
Just looking for opinions on what to buy as I am going to buy a widening kit but not sure if 44" is enough or 46" is to much I am putting it on a 2002 viper with a m10,boss highrise,and ohlihns,with the 1" shock extensions on the front,I just want to find out the pros and cons of going over 44" with the front end.So if there is any front end suspension experts out there let me know.
Thanks Steve

Depends on what you use your sled for. I did a wide front on my warrior and hated it. It make off trail riding suck but it stuck like glue on trails. A friend of mine has a 46" kit on a srx and loves the trail handleing it offers. He did say he wished he had gone alittle smaller due to it being a pain when it comes to trailering.(hard to make two sleds fit)

how much front travel are you guys working with on these setups?
