Hey;

We put mudlites on the wife's TB last year and she luvs them. Ride is a comfortable as ever and can get through so much more stuff. The extra ground clearance made a big difference going from a 22" to 25" tire.

I have 25" Mudlites on my Hawkeye and the ride is WAY better than stock. Its almost like the suspension was designed for 25" tires and they went cheap and slapped some 22" tires on there.

I now have 11" ground clearance on the hawk.

I have the basic Mudlites on the factory rims and the rears only clear by about .25 of an inch to the front of the rear fender. I don't see how the taller lug xl's would fit. With saying that, I been wonder about slotting the rear fender assy mounting holes to move it foward a hair.

I had to trim an inch off the fenders in front of the rear tires when I switched to 24" Swamp Fox's, as they would rub when the rear suspension was compressed.

I had to trim off some outside material to make it look better on the rear fenders , but my 25 goodyear rawhides did rub a little with the wife on the back , added some preload and stiffened it up and it did okay, the only problem is that the speeo is off 5-6 mph with the taller 25 inch goodyear tires, I wonder if there is way to change the speed sensor to fix the problem.
