I have 27 inch 589's on my machine. I weigh 230 and havent noticed any power loss or lack of power. I have pictures of them on my site below. Also you dont need any lift or fender mods to run these tires. Any questions let me know.

Boots- You don't have the fender kit or lift kit and your 27's don't rub? I am really interested to know because Highlifter told me I would definitely need the fender kit. Please let me know!!!

no fender kit, no lift kit, no spacers. nothing. It does NOT rub. You can look at the photos I have. They show the tire sitting in the stock well. Hope that helps. Highlifter wants to sell you a lift kit, thats why they told you that. Maybe they thought you were going to run outlaws. They told me that if I ran outlaws I would need a lifter kit.

RubiconBob, I went with 26X9's on the front and 26X12's on the back. I have not made any mods whatsoever, my only worry was the muffler heat shield rubbing when I bottomed out. I cinched the back rack to the tow hitch until it bottomed out to see it would rub and there is still about 3/4" of clearance. Haven't been in any real mud yet, but I am very pleased with the ride.

Heck yeah! The Ruby is a great machine!

For my fellow Ruby owners with 589's, thanks a bunch! I appreciate your comments!
