Default 2003 Yamaha Kodiak 450

Is there a way without replacing the shocks on this ATV to raise it up higher? Most of the time when i ride, i get stuck in the mud even in 4x4. Everyone else i ride with goes though no problem. The people i ride with have bigger ATV's, but i am seeing when i get stuck that the mud is up to the foot pegs.

Thanks in advance

Only way I know is to put on a larger diameter tire other than some type of suspension lift that would raise the underside of the atv to increase your ground clearance.

Youre probably draging on the rear differential,and thats why youre slowing down and getting stuck. Its one of the downsides to a solid rear axle quad. Taller tires, is about all you can do, or pick a different line through the slop, and not ride down someone elses ruts. Raising the frame and body, will only make it tippier, and the differential will still drag.
