Either
I bought FatMommas when I first got my vert, because of the incline of my driveway. I prefer FatMommas just because they are symetrical, but I believe FatDaddys will work just as good...................But they do work, got rid of that scraping sound.

Plus one for the "Mommas". I literally RIDE on these when entering the street from my driveway, and like the fact that the Mommas have 4 wheels, one on either side of the radiator cradle rather than the Daddys one wheel mounted on one side of the cradle.

If you encounter a lot of obstacles like speed bumps and take them head on, than the FattMammas work great
If you have a lot of inclines that you take at an angle, the FattDaddys work best. The FattDaddys are stronger because of the Rig
It is pretty much 50/50 on over all sales...

We get that question a lot.

What exactly do you mean by saying the FattDaddys work better on inclines because of the rig? Up to this point I was leaning toward the FattMommas because of the double wheels. Mainly I scrape whenever I leave my driveway, at the best angle I can manage. Occassionally somewhere else. What is this "rig" you mention?

I see. What size rig does the FattMomma use? I also see that the FattDaddy uses a grade 5 bolt and the FattMomma a grade 8. Reading the site discriptions, I thought the Mommas were the stronger choice. Thanks for the input Chip.

A grade 8 bolt and a grade 5 bolt have different load capacity depending on length.
The span on the FattDaddys is much less than the FattMammas.
A grade 5 bolt is also less susceptible to shock breakage.
The FattMammas do not sit in any kind of rig

Really you can't go wrong with either.
I have had FattDaddys on my car for the last two years
and they have worked flawlessly
BTW I had the FattMammas on for a year before that, and they worked
awesome too
Peace
Chip
