I just bought a new '05 Rincon and will be riding primarily in the mud. I will be replacing the stock tires and I have a few questions:
1) If I buy 27" tires will this require a lift kit (to keep the tires from rubbing)??
2) How difficult is it to install a lift kit (or is this something better left for a shop to do)?

 

I have a 2005 Rincon with 27" ITP Mudlite XTR's and 14" ITP 7 series rims and I don't think a lift is necessary. I have not lifted mine at all but every once and a while I will hear something rub or hit the tires. I can't figure out what's hitting or even what tire it is hitting on. From what I've read I think it is hitting the fender bars on the front. But to answer your question, no you should't have to lift it but you might need to make a modification to the front fender bars.
