I put 1" Highlifter wheel spacers on mine when went to the 26X10's on the front.
Anytime that you put more leverage on it will potentialy put more stress on but I have had no problem with my spacers on.

the big thing i heard that it effects how the bike steers and handles is a big concern as well. you guys w/ spacers would know more for sure about that. this is kind of why i tell people to just buy a big wheel kit(rims&tires) and dont have to worry about the clearance. imo

 

hey polarissportsman800 I have 1.5" spacers on mine and it works great the one draw back for me is i can no longer drive it forward in the pickup as the wheels won't fit between the tire wells in the box so ihave to back it in which can be a pain in the a##. i do have one ? though i just ordered 28" itp 589's will they clear without adding any lift? thanks

 

maby you could get some new or good used rims with a different offsets that move it out and sell the ones you have to get your money back.

 

Hey , still cant believe the price diff from canada and the states , even though are dollar is on par im still paying double for everything. 4 spacers will cost over $300 , the cheapest ITP rims will cost close to $450. i was on denniskirk.com last night and found rims that r about $55 a piece i will probley try that route, just hope it doesnt take weeks to get it here.
Hey firehog i bet those boots will cost me over $20 a piece......RIP OFFF.
Awsume800efi i got a 06 ranger that i have to back into everytime is sucks, and your 28 589's will fit with no problem. Ill post a couple of pics when i get my new rims. thanks

 

you shouldn't need spacers for the back as you have plenty of room, the only spacers i have are for the front i have 26x12x12 in the back and 26x10x12 in the front

 

I did the tie rod flip and like the handling and steering better. you do have to readjust the toe. After i tore the 3rd boot, wanted to fix it. Someone with more knowledge than me told me this actually aligns steering and suspension angles better, and 2 Polaris dealers told me no problem with doing this. No torn boots since.
