Lesieg, One more thing I might add is install a roll bar or "ROPS" if you are going to be doing much hill work. You can also install a seatbelt. I also second what Hugh says about loaded tires in that it lowers the center of gravity which is most advantageous. I think that widening the rear wheels will also help a lot while widening the narrow front wheels is suspect in that it is harder to steer in addition to the fact that if you hit a groundhog hole or stone or other abstruction, the wider setting will throw the wheels and darned near rip your arm out of the socket. It is also wise not to push the envelope as far as to what degree does it become unsafe. All it takes is to drop a rear wheel into a hole, and an otherwise safe angle becomes a roll over situation. It is prudent to know the lay of the land, and know within reason what hazards exist. Its not unlike a pro golfer walking a golf course before playing a tournament to become acquainted with the lay of the land.
