Default Grizzly BIGFOOT Kit.. Suggestion?

I know there are a lot of you out there with bigfoot kits on your Grizzly's. I want to know which way to go when I buy mine. Hopefully I will be able to get mine after Thanksgiving. I talked to my local dealer who could get me a 26" itp set with blackwaters for around $765 (no center caps included). Is this good? Do I just slap the tires on or do I need to lift the quad also? Also does anyone have photos of their Grizzly with the Bigfoot kit installed and possibly in action? Thanks.

They shouldnt rub ive seen many a grizz with 28" on them and had no prob. the offset of most aftermarket wheels is greater so that the bigger tire wont rub. Are you wanting to get new wheels ? if you want to go through some nasty stuff get a really aggressive tire atleast 27" not only will it give you more ground clearance they also look cool as hell . lol

You can put 28" bigfoot kits on the Grizzly without a lift. The only thing that will rub, for a short time, is the rear fender if you bottom out your suspension. You can trim that 1/8" or just let your tires do it, and it simply looks factory. I think your price that you were quoted is a tad high, personally. Take a look at this place for several bigfoot kits:

Good luck!

Thanks for the link. The images help a lot when deciding on what type of tires I want. I think I am going to go with the 27" set. Thanks again for the info.
