I'M GONNA BE GETTING A SP500HO SOON AND MY DEALER WILL ALLOW BIGGER TIRES BUT NO LIFT OR SNORKELS HOW CAN I FIT 27 INCH MAGNUM TIRES WITHOUT A LIFT ANY SUGGESTIONS IS THERE LIKE SPRINGS OR SOMETHING U CAN ADD WOULD THEY CONSIDER THOSE A LIFT WHAT COULD I DO THANKS

 

I called about 27" tires for my Explorer 500 (same as the Sportsman) they said no problem with the after market rims (they have a differant offset) Call any one of the adds in the back of a ATV mag and ask. I'd check into getting the bank to let you buy the wheels seperate from the dealer, in most cases you'll get about the same deal in price and you get to keep the factory wheels (at lease check it out). Not to bust you out, but alot of people wont reply to a post in all caps, its considered rude.

Under full compression of a big bump, mine will rub. I'd look into Works struts or Progressive springs for the front.

Also, the stock front wheels may allow the tires to rub the tie rod ends.
