A buddy of mine just bought a new Rancher S and immediatly put 26"super swampers on it. He then asked the dealer about putting floor boards on it and they told him that they wouldn't work with the 26" tires because they would rub one of the rear tires. This did not make sense to me, so I told him I would ask if anyone else has heard of this.Have you?

 

Look for a post or reply from Phalynx, then go to his site, he has pictures of his Rancher ES with 26" Blackwaters.

 

I've got 26" Blackwaters on mine, and they're not even close to rubbing. I also ahve a buddy who runs 26" Swampers on his RancherES, and again, they're not close to rubbing. Tell you're buddy he'll be fine!

These guys are right, I have even tried 27" and they don't have a clearance problem. The 350 was a little ahy about turning the 27" though. You will be fine with the floorboards.

 

Thank you guys for replying. Can you tell us whose floorboards you are running? Moose,DG,Brute,etc. Also can you tell us where you found them? The dealer around here doesn't seem to want to find them for us.

 

The floorboards I have came with the ES model. The aftermarket floorboards don't take any more length than the stock ones.
