Default New pics of 27" bigfoot kit

I got home today from work and was walking from the truck to the deck and there it was...
THE BIG BROWN UPS TRUCK! I was so happy you guys it wasn't even funny. I went in the house to put my stuff on the kitchen counter and let the dog out and then went and gladly greeted the UPS man. He gave me four big cardboard boxes which had my new 27" ITP Mudlite XL's mounted on the ITP type 6 wheels. I got them out of the boxes like a 5 year old on christmas morning throwing the boxes to the side and everything. I opened up the work shed and used the new Crewline ATV jack to lift the quad up and pumped up the air compressor, took the old 25" Carlisle Badland XTR's off and then of course took some pictures before installing the new 27" bigfoot kit. I rode it around the corner to make sure they didn't rub and they didn't, which was no surprise since I added the 2" strut spring lift spacers which I made. Man I am so happy. anyways I measured the total lift with the new tires at 29 3/4" to a point on my winch bracket where as before it measured 26 3/4" so I gained 3" in the front. I measured from the floor to the bottom of the floorboards to get a measurement of 14 1/2" I don't know what it was stock but I can measure our other 700EFI which is still stock to get a stock height measurement. overall I am very pleased with them and the Lugs were even bigger than I thought they would be, to prove it I should have taken a picture of my grass/yard cause it's all dug up from the tread/lugs of the Mudlites. let me know what you guys think.

your right elkbow, it is about time! I have researched the whole thing for along time cause it wan't just about buying the wheels/tires it was also about the tires rubbing on the wheel wells or the fender flares. I took care of that problem with the strut lift spacers that I made from aluminum stock.
