Bigfoot kits from the tire companies are just wheels & tires. Cost around $400 to $500 depending on tire type & size plus wheel type aluminum or steel. Rode with a friend who had 25" Bi-Tri Claw set up on his they worked great. From what I saw happen to him I would recommend the lightest combo. The extra weight and leverage is hard on wheel bearings and ball joints. He replaced wheel bearings twice a year. He did ride it hard and he loved mud rode in every mud hole. Wasn`t happy until he was stuck and needed a pull out. He also got the bearings for free from work so he didn`t care he accepted it his price to pay for playing. This is what I have seen I`m sure others have had better results. HTH
Check out the magazines for more info on prices & types.

don't go larger than 25" tires on a stock motor, try mudrunners or 589's.

Thanks for the replies.

I gave him a couple of my mags to look at as far as big wheel kits go. He found one for around $400 and is thinking about getting it.
