If I do as yall say,will the 27" still rub the front fender? I dont think it is needful to raise the rear end.I would love to see your pics on your lift spacers!

THanks everyone,

With 27's on the bike the front will still rub with the lift. There are two ways to help the rubbing. Move the floorboards back or modify the A-arms. I run 28 x 12.5 Outlaws on all four corners with very little rubbing problems, but I have done many modifications to my bike.

hey 425 exp..are you and your buddy going to be making those alum. spacers for the struts to lift? also are you going to make the a arms and sell them? i used a different type of lift so it could be taken out in about 10 mins because i extended the warranty..im not planning on modding the quad anymore than what i have already done..ive spent enough money now its time to ride..im just curious if you plan on selling the spacers and a arms ? i may know someone that might need them..thanks..Jaime, i`ll have pics on tomorrow of the spacers, i havent had a chance to get to the garage where i keep it,but ill be there tomorrow for sure

i thought i might add a word of advice. dont put front tires that are wider than 10", and that is pushing it. if over that, you must have spacers

I would like more info/pictures on the spacers.
I have thought about getting new tires for my Sportsman HO. I think 26" is the tallest I will go though. I would like to try and correct the sag caused by the bumper/brushguard/winch weight up front. Any ideas?
