i like to do a lot of mud riding and trail riding and i know that the 300ex has low ground clearance. since i don't want to get stuck and i want more ground clearance, are there any lift kits for a 300ex or is there anyway to bring up the ground clearance?

 

Look, your trying to transform a sport quad into something its not. No one makes a lift kit for it but if you put one on it it is going to mess the handling up. The only way to get the rear end up is to get larger tires. If you go above 22in they will rub the fenders. Look have some *****, get the 300ex and go through all the mud you want to. If your going to be basically sport riding thats what you need. One day of riding a clutch and you'll have it downpat. The other day I made it through some mud equal with my plastic. I had to jump off into the mud and push tho[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
The 250ex isn't probably going to go that much better, neither the Lakota. Once you ride a 300ex you'll have to have it over the other 2.

 

I agree. Unless you are never going to ride anywhere but the mud, do not lift it even if you find a way (the only way would be to buy bigger tires anyway or else you would just be doing a suspension lift which would not give you any more clearance). More than likely you are going to be riding out of the mud more than you will be riding in the mud (if not, then sell the 300ex and get a 4x4). If anything, spend your cash on a good set of 22" mud tires for the back, but keep in mind that pure mud tires won't be as good on other surfaces. I ride with a guy on a 300ex and is does great in the mud (even with the stock tires). The ground clearance does hamper it a little bit, but that's the price you pay for buying a sport quad. Just work on your technique a little bit and you will be suprised what you can make it through.
