Ive got an 03 eiger 4x4 manual and im looking to get some new tires. I use this machine for plowing snow so i was thinking about going to a 26" tire due to the fact that the eiger has no adjustment on the front shocks. When i lift the plow with the stock tires on it drops my front end a good 2 inches or so. Cant seem to find an aftermarket shock for the eiger that is adjustable to rectify the situation. so was wondering if anyone had any advice as to tire brand and size.Or if anyone knows where i can find an adjustable shock for it. I also do alot of trail and mud riding. Any ideas would really be appreciated
Im also thinking about rejetting the ol girl awful damned cold blooded she is!!! where can i get a deal on a jet kit?

 

just get some jets from the dealer...Works should/could make shocks for you...call them up....I would go for the ITP Holeshot ATR's 26in size...I have done a lot of research on them and they are excellent handling and good for snow

 

I'm with Mojave about the jets. On the weekend I put a 126 jet from the dealer(3 bucks) in and it made the cold/lean problem alot better. Last year I turned out the air/fuel mixture screw 1.5 turns and that helped too. I'm looking at 26" mudlites but not till spring.

 

where's the mixture screw....i always get confused cause it's always different on carbs

 

ITP 589's kick butt and I just installed a set on my eiger and can't believe the difference, plus they ride excellent for a mud+snow.

Did you stay with the stock 25"s or did you go to a 26?

 

I stuck with 25 inchers for now the ground clearance is only 1/2 inch difference but the power loss might be more noticeable, eventually I am gonna get a clutch kit so will see then if I go up a size or two then.

 

uh oh...it's starting to snow here...and the Eiger has the plow on...HOT DOG...i get to plow snow FINALLY

 

Snow? whats that? Oh I remeber now. its when that once in a blue moon rain turns into white stuff that make most washingtonians turn into cry baby morons. Once the snow hits do you leave the plow on?

 

lol...once the plowing is done...the plow comes off and i go snow exploring
