Its a little stiff but after a while you dont realize it. Going to 12s all the way around will only help you!!!!Big Difference

Mudblaster,

Saw that you have the 3" wheel well extensions. Are they easy to insall. Ordered mine today. Should be here before the weekend ride with my buddy and his honda. The biggest advantage he has over me, is that he doesn't get muddy as all hell. I am filthy, and he is still clean. Wondering also if they work. I use mine a lot for hunting and the mud flies up and hits my equipment all the time. Thanks for any info possible.

yes thay are very easy to install bu you need a special rivet gun to put them on because thay come with those plastic rivets so thay will brake in sted of ripping off, but your dealer will have one just borrow theres for an hour or so, also make sure you drill the holes in the right spot ore thay will have some small gaps

They said they were on back order till the middle of MAY last week. I guess they really didn't know because they called and they came in yesturday. I havn't picked up yet been to busy with MSU school work. Probably won't be able to get them and try them untill next week. I got the ones for the rear as well. It likes you only got the ones for the front from your pics. I could be mistaken. Its the same part number for both, found that a bit intresting. I will let youo know when I put them on though.

Thanks Tim

After I get these mudflaps I need to get bigger tires. These stock DUNLOPS suck. I hate getting stuck in something that i shouldn't. Have to wait till I get the roof on my house though.
