Default Hey everyone I am new here and the the four wheeler world.

Well everyone like the title says I am completely new to this game. I just bought a new 2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 on Thursday. It literally is brand new has never been titled until now. I got a great deal on it I believe. Well anyways I am wanting to know a few things. 1 is I would like to put a lift on it with some 29-30in tires. What lift is best and what tires do work well in mud? This is a toy for the mud so I can keep my truck out of it. I know to keep it very clean by washing everything out of it. Any tips and ideas would be great.

Travis

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

IF you plan on it lasting a long time dont lift it.Just get a good aggressive stock size tire.
Lift kits put parts in bad angles and put more stress on parts.
Keep it clean but dont use a preasuer washer on it.That will harm the seals and decals.

Default Hey

Gorilla Axle sells a complete 6" lift kit. They are not cheap but other than replacing the occassional torn cv boot they are indestructable. Also, plan on clutching it if you are going with a lift/tires. I ran their 6" lift, Highlifter 29.5" Outlaws, clutch kit, K&N filter, and Aaen pipe on my 05 800. It lived in the mud. Just kept it cleaned/maintained and changed all fluids at least twice a year. Welcome to the forum!

Well everyone thanks for the input's. I am not wanting to spend to much on it. I would like to put something a little meatier on it though. I was thinking about maybe trying to put 29's or 30's under it but that's about it. Again let me know what I am looking at. Thanks

Travis
