That looks pretty bad there. What is your ground clearance now after adding the lift?

 

Andy,
With the lift and 5lb. psi in the tires, 12.5"

 

Scotto:
Nice pics! Didn't think there was much of anything that could dwarf a AC 500, yet War Pony does just that, with ease! Nice looking 'Cat!

Mike

 

12.5 where? Thats at the rear diff? What is the clearance at the front a-arm mount? under the skid plate between the pegs?

 

Boner,
12.5" under the bash plate, 11.5" between the pegs and 9" @ the diff. w/5lb psi.
Ron (rbrok), Rons wife Pam, my son & I just got back from a days ride on the Red top trail just outside Isle, MN. Got the Warpony stuck up to the rack in wast deep THICK, THICK chocolate pudding type mud. Fun!! and like Alex, my son said "go's to show dad that any wheeler with any setup can get stuck". Except maybe for that one smart a$$ whow skirted way arownd the outside in 4" of safe mud that my Grandma could have gone thru on a broken down Schwinn and said proudley to Ron "Polaris power" Gezz!!
Anyway, good choice on buying your winch before buying your tires. I think I'm a extrem rider like you. Anyone who says that thay never been stuck is ether lying or allways takes the "safe & EZ" route.

scotto: Pam got some good photos of your being stuck in the pudding!! Got my Warn 2day , boy Warn has a neat mount for the Rancher. Gotta hand it to Cabellas... they said 5-6 shipping days and I got it in 3. BUT they shorted me 2ea. 3/8" nylon nuts. Not a big deal 'cos I can get them at the NAPA store. Will let you know when photos are availible. later Rbrok
