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.

 

These machines look better the higher they sit. Yours looks great! I know the wider tires make for better stability but where I sometimes ride we run into some off camber situations. Not sure if the wider tires would compensate enough for the extra height in my case.

 

Hey, great looking tires and wheels! When it comes time for new rubber on ours, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. With only 400's I can't put anything larger on because I'll lose too much 'ooooph'. But chrome is definitely an option.

Yours almost looks too good to ride - ha.

 

I put the 9" wides on the front and the 12" wides on the rear but almost thought about going with the 10" wides on the rear just for that same width issue wayback40. I'll see how the 12" handle/perform and If I don't like them then I will order another set with the 10" wides for the rear and sell the 12's. I make the spacers to lift the front end if your interested, give me a PM

Just curious, Would you want to sell your old 25" Badlands XTR's? If so how much?By the way, the Polaris looks great!!!!

 

Yes I would like to sell the 25" Badland XTR's but probably only with the wheels, there are only about 125 miles on them and are in like new condition still, I think I will put them up for about $350
