So I've ordered the rzr lift. Should be in tomorrow hopefully. Now I need wheel spacers. What 2" wheel spacers are you guys running? Really looking for something I'm not gonna have to mod on. Just a slap on and go type thing. TIA

Most of us stay at 1.5" or less due to the stresses on the wheel bearings, knuckle bushings and ball joints. Some do run the 2" though. For 1.5's we use these. I'm sure you can get them in a 2" if you really want a set.

Does adding spacers make it more stable? How does it affect the ride?

Slightly more stable and because it's like lengthening the a-arm, it gives a little more total wheel travel and because they change the force ratio in the shocks, the ride is smoother..just slightly but noticeable. The down side is it changes the steering geometry so bump-steer is increased and well as alignment changes increasing impact forces on the rack. Also increased torsional forces on the bearings, ball joints and knuckle bushings shortening their life.. although keeping them to 1.5 and less seems to minimize that aspect. That's it in a nutshell.
