You will have premature wear and breakdown on your CV joints and you will also have accesive wear on brakes and ball joints because of the higher center of gravity

remember your atv already sits around 13 inches what more do ya need?

I want the extra lift for ground clearance, and was thinking on bigger tires. When im on the atv there is like 7-8 inches ground clearance...245 pounds..lol Plus i ride my wife on back sometimes, yeah i know riding doubles can be dangerous, but i'm carefull and been riding for 25 years.

I have had a lift on my 800 since the day it came home. I have replaced the wheel bearings on both sides in the front. I have about 600 miles on it. I have also replaced a rear bearing on the wifes 500 with no lift. So I think it is fairly normal to replace them. The other thing to think about is with the lift you may be putting your ATV in more challenging spots than you would have without the lift. Becareful of turning you tires full left and right in the thick stuff. It puts lots of pressure on the CV joints. You may also concider putting upgraded axles in .
