Another thought. How many of you are doing this on larger 4x4 UTV rather than 4x2 sports? Seeing 22-23" wheels caught my eye. It seems UTV have a higher center of gravity and more prone to flip. Especially on 4x4 you want as much traction on the front but sport ATV get all their power from the rear. What if you went with slightly narrower tires on the front? Wouldn't that reduce steering bump and other bad tracking and handling problems?

I have 9" tires on the front of mine... I've seen some dudes with 10"s or 11"s on the front... or the same tire width all the way around the bike I just think that would turn the bike into a full time Sherman Tank. Looks cool though!!!

BTW Chris the Elka's are great, huge improvement over the factory shocks. Had them built for our bike, my weight and cross country/ trail riding. Well worth the money in my opinion.
