I was thinking of getting highlifter lift kit and running 26" tires, probaly dirtdevils, or mud lites, will they rub at all on the fenders and can my 450 push these or should i keep 25's on it? Also im fairly new to performance upgrades on these atvs, can you give me some power adding goodies to help turn the larger tires? Any pics or help would be greatly apprecciated, thanks so much

 

I had 28" titons on my 2002 forman 450 and they were fine I also had 26" gaters for it and I couldnt feel a difrince in power with the 26" a little bit of a power loss with the 28" I have 27" ITPs on new rubicon and it still can do a wheely dint loss much power at all. But some budys of mine will change jets and K&N filter to help with the little power loss. hope this will help a little good luck.

 

I assited a friend in putting that lift kit on his 450 and he added 26" 589's and he really enjoys the ride and "dig in" he gets. He has no "rub" problems but did find that he was getting a lot more mud being tossed his way and went to an extended set of fender flares, I think from Moose. The tires allow him to stay in 2wd and that is through some "bog down your truck" kind of mud and water. Hope this helps.

On another thought, I had the Highlifter lift kit on my Rancher. When I purchased new Progressive Suspension shocks they were longer and allowed me to remove my lift kit. The lift kit served me well but I always felt like it was a bit cheesy and not worth the $ invested.
