Has anyone ever turn them right up? I read that if ya turn them all the way up it could cause cv failure, does anyone know this to be true?

Depends how you ride. the harder you have them then the harder the hit will transfer from the wheels but thats a fair enough risk isnt it.If you ride the rocks like mcnutt or Chilliwack you might do damage but in the mud I doubt it.

Thanks, but it's for the mud. I just installed 28 Outlaws with 9.5 in the front. The springs are halve way up and the floor boards are moved about a quarter of an inch back. The problem is that when hitting a bump the tire grabs the front of the fenders. Anyone have any other ideas, maybe moving the floor boards back to stock location?

Well as a 2000 polaris xpedition 425 cc 5-speed owner. I have a similiar experience. However, I bought 26 inch mudbugs. You have 28 inch outlaws. I had the same problem where bumps caused tire fender rubbing and I did not like it. I have the progressive lift springs. All that is, is heavy duty springs and those cams. They are up as high as they can go. I have no more tire fender rubbing and that makes me very happy. However like I said,
you have 28 inch tires. I believe that they cause no extra wear on tie-rod ends or cv joint problems. As you know, lift kits definitely do.
