Default Increase ground clearance for the DS?

Got a question...I have a basic stage One 2000 DS and I usually run 20" Ohtsu's on the rear. We have one specific place we ride every year where I beat the heck out of my skid plate. I know it might not look the best, but whats the tallest rear tire you guys have run in order to give me alittle more ground clearance.

Also, I run IMS heel guards and pegs, must be able to clear these as well. Looking for something very cheap for this one weekend a year!

Thanks

i have 22's on the back definately no problem fitting them but you should go ahead and get a 15tooth front sprocket when you get them

you can tighten the springs and that will raise things, except the axle it won't change that will take the tires, but it will help with the bumps.

Holeshot XCT 23" fronts and 22" rears. Lotsa meat and about an inch taller than comperable size tires of other makes. 15t front as stated when you make that change.

What's so wrong with a few battle scars anyway??? Skid plates aren't that expensive!

No, but funny, yes!
Just funnin', no harm intended. I work with former and retired Marines and Sailors on a daily basis. You should hear some of the jabs and jokin' going on. Makes the clock move fast anyway.
