I ride all kinds of trails. Thought about 22's on the rear. Gonna keep the 20's tho. They give me about 4.5" of clearance. So far its been all I have needed. With the trails I ride I would be screwed with 19's.
You running +2 all around? Iam not sold on the linkage. From what I understand if you run the linkage the rear shock needs to get rebuilt inorder for it to be effective and the linkage hangs down lower than the stock linkage. So you have to cut up your swing arm skid leaving the linkage exposed.

Yep +2 a-arms, and the +4 axle, 3+5 beadlocks on the back, it sits a little wider in the back becaus of the offset.
For the rear, i'd like to find a cheap fox podium or some elka stage 4, not at all sure if you'd run an elka linkage or what? I'm unclear on the GT thunder linkage with the stock shock though....

I dunno- I'll have to check my math again but it could possibly work in your favor.......

I may be a little off on my measurement- but if you put the elka fox 4 over the rear podium, the 3+5 GT a- (+4) beadlock linkage offset thunder... then it might sit a little unwider in the front / back and under the over rear... yep

If you use a gtt linkage with the rear shock I believe the rear shock needs to get sent out to be reworked because it will bottom out far to easy.

Yep, with the X2. I'm still getting used to the Outty. I ordered stiffer front springs, grip heaters, and thumb heater. I'll have to get used to it again.

my 800 handled the 60" plow nicely with the springs adjusted.

Why the stiffer front springs?

I outweigh you and the plow by about 150lbs. I have no more adjustment left on the front shocks. I also want to lift it an inch or two if possible. It scrapes more than the X2 did.
