I had to bend the sway bar ends in about 1.5"s takes about 30 min and is't noticable when done.

RD, Nice lookin' rubber. Say...Where'd you get that rear view mirror? I need one for the snowmobile trails. Sleds come up fast on a 4-wheeler.

I know there'v been other threads about this, but was the swaybar mod only needed for putting 11's on the stock wheels, or 11's or wider in general on stock or aftermarket wheels? Thanks.

11's or wider only on stock wheels on a 2009 XP,most if not all of the aftermarket wheels have a wider offset,the ITP wheels actually have too much for the XP really and swaybar clearance is no issue at all...
Polaris redesigned the swaybar on the 2010's to allow more clearance...likely thanks to forums like this one and the many posting about the lack of clearance I wonder why they waste money on those stupid surveys when they can and do get the brutal truth right here...
