Default brute 750 stability upgrades?

i've recently purchased a brute 750 and was wondering what the best / most cost efficient way to get rid of some of the tippiness would be. i was considering wheel spacers, upgraded wheels / tires. any help would be greatly appreciated!

I went with just a set of the ITP Wheels and Radial tires.
After that, I installed a complete set of the WORKS Shocks but these babies will set you back anywhere from $765 to $1000 for all four.
Not cheap for Shocks but W O W, the improvement is like the difference between Nite and Day.

I did the same ITP rims,Bighorn Radials,I went with Elka front shocks only,if I had to do it all over again the first thing I would do is Elka front shocks and springs you would not believe the difference in ride and handling nite & day,then after killing the dunlops I would go with radial tires.

Ditch the rear end assemble and install one from a prairie 700, that will do the trick.
Or get the Bomb 800, it works real good.

I had the same problem on the Sportsman 500, it was so tippy on the trails of Chadwick MO. that I ended up with the Magnum 500 solid axle to take care of the problem.

In Colorado I was riding my '02 Prairie 650 on fire roads and the Arctic Cats, Polaris, and BF 750 in our group could understand why they had trouble bouncing on the fire roads.

I think the guys above hit the nail on the head, better shocks. Also if you can stand the ride you can stiffen up the stock shocks.
good luck...........

thanks to all for the advice. think i'll try some radials and stiffen up the stock shocks and see how that works. i'd like to get new shocks, but they're awful pricey
