I got home today from work and was walking from the truck to the deck and there it was...
THE BIG BROWN UPS TRUCK! I was so happy you guys it wasn't even funny. I went in the house to put my stuff on the kitchen counter and let the dog out and then went and gladly greeted the UPS man. He gave me four big cardboard boxes which had my new 27" ITP Mudlite XL's mounted on the ITP type 6 wheels. I got them out of the boxes like a 5 year old on christmas morning throwing the boxes to the side and everything. I opened up the work shed and used the new Crewline ATV jack to lift the quad up and pumped up the air compressor, took the old 25" Carlisle Badland XTR's off and then of course took some pictures before installing the new 27" bigfoot kit. I rode it around the corner to make sure they didn't rub and they didn't, which was no surprise since I added the 2" strut spring lift spacers which I made. Man I am so happy. anyways I measured the total lift with the new tires at 29 3/4" to a point on my winch bracket where as before it measured 26 3/4" so I gained 3" in the front. I measured from the floor to the bottom of the floorboards to get a measurement of 14 1/2" I don't know what it was stock but I can measure our other 700EFI which is still stock to get a stock height measurement. overall I am very pleased with them and the Lugs were even bigger than I thought they would be, to prove it I should have taken a picture of my grass/yard cause it's all dug up from the tread/lugs of the Mudlites. let me know what you guys think.

 

Cool!! Where did you get them and how much ... Man i need some toy money!

 

Looks great man. Congrats on a great looking machine!!!

 

Man those things are sweet. Nice pics I'm glad you finally got them. Did you get to ride much today with the new skins?

 

If I wasn't racing mine, that is how I would set up mine. Nice job.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I owe it all to www.lesteratv.com
I called them after getting a referall from Moosehunter and talked to Melanie and she beat the lowest price I had which no one else could do. you can get in touch with Melanie at lester's by emailing her at orders@lesteratv.com I really shouldn't be saying how much but since I already did in other posts, I payed $545 for:
* two 27-9-12's
* two 27-12-12's
* four ITP type 6 wheels
* center caps, lugnuts, free shipping.

and they were ordered on Friday and I got them today (wednesday) in four boxes from UPS

 

I Didn't get to ride it at all other than going around my home, I had to be a good boy and cook dinner for my wife. LOL guess after spending that much I should cook for the rest of the year!

 

Get out the pots & pans [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. LOL

 

Nice! Looks mean.

HIT IT HARD!

 

I bet you're happy, especially since going from 25" to 27". Mine didn't look like a drastic change because I have the '05 machine, so only went from 26" to 27", but the fronts are much wider than the originals.

Let me know how they do on high speed. I have a wobble in the front end with both the 27" Mud Lites and 27" 589s. I cranked the preload up in the rear suspension and it got rid of the wobble using the 589's, I just put the Mud Lites back on to see if the wobble is gone in them too. I think you have to expect some type of change in huge lugged tires like these, same thing you run in to when you put big mud lug tires on a truck....

Nice pics...
